Planning application
4 Dovers West Dovers Green Road Reigate Surrey RH2 8DA
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
1.T1 -Ash(as per plan provided) -Remove single stem as highlighted in image and growing in direction of garden of No. 4 back to point of origin. 2.T2-Ash(as per plan provided)-Fell to ground level all stems. 3. T3-Ash(as per plan provided). Remove lowest branch as highlighted in the image. Reasons for the works. The works are necessary to restore an acceptable juxtaposition between the protected trees and the wider property and garden. The application seeks to remove those stems(T1)and trees(T2) and individual branches(T3) as illustrated, bearing down on the property. This approach is considered more sustainable and effective than selective crown reductions, with the outcome having no measurable negative impacts to the wider landscape, the public and amenity value enjoyed. The outcome of these works will be increased light levels to the garden and property, a lessening of the volume of seasonal detritus, and a reduction in the fear and concern felt by the householders.

21 Old Oak Avenue Chipstead Surrey CR5 3PG
T1- Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). Selective pruning of the lateral crown to reduce over extended limbs by 1.5-2m (Predominately on the east and west sides to rebalance), reduce other limbs where necessary to appropriate growth points with the goal of reducing weight load and rebalancing the crown. Remove deadwood over 40mm diameter and 50cm length. Reduce or remove large dead limb on west side of tree at 3m height. Supply and installation of 3x non-invasive 8tn Cobra bracing between three co-dominant stems, to reduce movement between branch unions and mitigate likelihood of structural failure. Use of a mobile elevated working platform (cherry picker) will be utilised to ensure we prune to the appropriate points, for tree health and aesthetics.

Land Adjacent To 150 Fleetwood Close Tadworth Surrey KT20 5PG
Trees 1 and 2 (adjacent 150) prune back from their dwelling/garage by circa 3m and remove deadwood. The branches of both trees are extending across the curtilage of 150 Fleetwood Close. Some are in close proximity to the dwelling. Early pruning work, as requested, will enable the tree crown to be managed without recourse to substantial pruning cuts. Early intervention is therefore considered to be best practice in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations. Tree 3 reduce height to circa 6m above ground level. The tree is in decline and presents no regenerative growth from lower on the branches or stem structure. If regenerative growth had been present it would have been feasible to specify pruning works to suitable growth points. Given the state of decline and absence of suitable pruning points it is considered prudent to remove the major branches but retain the lower stem for its ecological value. Works can be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations.
