4 Maplehurst Close Burgh Heath Surrey KT20 5FU

Granted Reigate and Banstead 26/01188/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

MODIFIED SPECIFICATION FOR T2 SEE CONDITION 2 T1: Beech (rear garden, left tree) - Reduce overall canopy by 2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. The aim of the reduction is to minimise the chance of failure and to keep the tree maintained at a reasonable size before a more drastic reduction may be needed in the future. There is a poor V-shaped union between two co-dominant stems, which the reduction will reduce tip weight and minimise sail. The reduction will also aim to maintain a natural looking tree, pruning to appropriate growth points. T2: Lime (rear garden, right tree) - Reduce height of canopy by 2m and laterals reduce by 2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. Epicormic growth to be removed from the main stem. The aim of the reduction is to keep the tree managed and to reduce the risk of failure. The tree has been lifted to 60% of its height, canopy starting at 11m. The reduction will lessen the sail, whilst keeping the tree maintained at reasonable points before a more drastic reduction is required in the future. The reduction will also aim to create a more visually appealing shape, whilst maintaining a natural looking tree. All major deadwood of 25mm in diameter or larger to be removed from both trees.

    MODIFIED SPECIFICATION SEE CONDITION 2 Report received from tree surgeon (Banstead Tree Works) states:-Maple tree looking out from kitchen window: (No TPO) lift crown 3-4 small diameter branches hanging over garden and alley way, reduce side lower branch 1-1.5 m. Thin the canopy of the tree from more light penetration to property, enhance air circulation and less wind resistance for safety of falling branches as area of garden that is used by adults and children. Norway Maple (no 5) and Sycamore (no 6) over garage: reduce weight on stem going over garage and prune back. Remove any dead wood. We are extremely concerned with damage to garage and office cabin from falling branches. Reduce and prune back branches (1-1.5 m) going onto the roof, also reducing weight by thinning from the end of the stem. Maintaining the health of the tree and provide assurance to reduce risk of branches falling onto the garage and office cabin's roofs. This part of garden is also used by children and adults. This tree is also blocking neighbours solar panel, so thinning will increase light penetration. We are also seeking approval to thin by 30% the following trees: G1 (Sycamore and Norway Maple) ,H2 x2 (Cherry Laurel), Ash (no 4), Sycamore (no, 7), Sycamore (no 8) and Sycamore (no 9).
