Planning application
2 Harendon Tadworth Surrey KT20 5TT
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Reduction of T1 Sweet Chestnut tree situated in the rear of the property. The tree appears to be in general good health with some dead wood around the crown that can be expected of a tree this age. The home owner would like to re-seed the area below the tree to try and get grass to grow and I would apply for a 1.5-2m reduction on all overextended lateral limbs blending the lateral limbs into the upper crown to create a well shaped and balanced crown and thin the crown by 15% to allow more dappled sunlight onto the grass below. All major dead wood will be removed and all work will be compliant with BS3998.

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

This application is for a full crown reduction of 3 Beech trees situated on the boundary line of 1 Harrendon. The trees are currently overhanging 3 Harrendon and have previously been reduced all round to allow more light into the properties and keep the lateral limbs away from both properties. The Beech trees have grown into 1 crown and a reduction of 1.5-2m on the lateral limbs and 1m in height to create 1 overall well shaped and balanced crown. On the other side of the garden are 2 Sweet Chestnut trees which are growing toward the house and hanging substantially over the garden. We would like to reduce these lateral limbs by 1.5-2m to create less shading in the garden and around the properties.

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.
