Awaiting decision Reigate and Banstead 26/01296/CAN

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1 Oak Tree adjacent to driveway entrance - Following the clients concerns having found a fungal fruiting body at the base of the tree it has been assessed. It is believed that the fungal bracket that was removed from the base is ganoderma resinaceum. There is a patch of mechanical damage on the north side buttress where the fruiting body was located. The tree has above average deadwood throughout the crown and overhangs the driveway and road with an offset crown biased to the south and west. Current crown spread: North 3m, east 4m, south 9m, west 9m and height 17M. Recommendations for works: Remove all major deadwood and crown reduce by up to 3m in height and 3m lateral spread leaving a residual crown radius of 6m on the south and west sides and a finished height of 14m. Crown lift to 5m over the carriageway and 3m over the garden. This will reduce the mechanical loading on the base of the main stem and aid retention of the tree.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Reigate and Banstead for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Reigate and Banstead is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

    There is a small ash tree that is in the roadside hedge on Wray common road. Earlier in the year I discussed with the owner signs of ash dieback and to come back early in 2024 to check on its condition. Last week a drunk driver crashed into the hedge at the base of the tree. The fence is in the middle of the hedge and now needs replacing. The ash tree has grown through the hedge and is punching the fence over. The tree and part of the hedge must be removed to allow the broken fence to be replaced.
