Planning application

Apsley The Chase Kingswood Surrey KT20 6HY

Refused Reigate and Banstead 25/01841/TPO Tree Preservation Order

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.
