Planning application

40 Water Mead Chipstead Surrey CR5 3NU

Granted Reigate and Banstead 24/01767/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Tree 1: Leilandii, This is reported to have been planted as hedging in a line of three trees after the houses on this road had been built. It has been planted to close to the property and garden infrastructure including a retaining wall, fence and paving. The tree is unsuitable for long term retention and was likely never intended to be allowed to attain the size it has. This tree will, if left, cause long term damage to the infrastructure around it. There is an area order TPO covering this location covering all species. We seek permission to remove this tree to ground level as it is non native and fast growing with limited long term management options.
