Planning application

St Bartholomews Church Church Road Horley Surrey RH6 8AB

Granted Reigate and Banstead 26/01221/CAN

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

The 3 dead trees are amongst others and also bushes in the first quarter of the boundary with the allotment gardens, starting from the Church Road (southern end) of the boundary. One is understood to be a cherry tree. The two others cannot be identified. We need to cut them down carefully to a safe height, including to remove any high level branches, before the dead trees become a safety concern. This will probably mean effectively cutting the trees down to almost ground level (withing about 300mm or so).
