Refused Reigate and Banstead 26/00158/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

Tpo number RE1013 group of 2 cedar trees. T1 due to fallen branches nearly hitting family pets after being previously reduced the tree canopy has filled with epicormic growth allowing no light or wind to pass through the tree acting as a sail. I would like to thin the crown by 20%. Height 15m crown width 17m approximately. T2 due to fallen branches nearly hitting family pets I would like to reduce over extended lateral branches by 2.5-3m to suitable growth points not reducing the height. Height 23m width 22m before work height remaining at 23m the width to reduce to a minimum of 19m approximately.

    T029 - Leyland Cypress. Fell to ground level. The works are part of a regular maintenance programme to retain the trees at a suitable size for there location. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the trees and will allow sustainable tree management in the long term. The tree is of poor shape and form and is of low amenity value.
