Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
RE 428 Trim side of conifers on west boundary (0.5 metres laterally). RE133 Reduce beech tree on north east side of driveway by 2/3 metres back to suitable secondary growth points and reduce lateral spread by 2.5 metres on north east/ north west and south west face. Approx height 20 metres and 20 metres radial spread. Reduce smaller beech tree on north east of driveway by 2 metres in height and 2 metres on north east/ south east face. Approx height 18 metres and spread 16 metres. Reduce beech tree on south west side of driveway by 3 metres in height and 2 metres in radial spread back to suitable secondary growth points. Approx height 20 metres and radial spread 20 metres. Take down oak tree in front garden to ground level due to heart wood decay and being riddled with fungus. Reason work is due to the beech trees causing excessive shading to property and prevent any premature limb failure. Reason for trimming conifers is keep them a manageable width. Reason for felling the oak tree is due to the proximity of the main road in to the estate and it having multiple Ganoderma brackets on the base of the stem.

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.
