Planning application
18 Walkfield Drive Epsom Downs Surrey KT18 5UF
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1- 2 meter reduction. As the tree is within a meter of property. Over high traffic areas and is very dense from previous work on the tree. Could do with a crown clean. T2 - Pine/Fir to be crown lifted 4 lowest limbs which would be 3.5 meter crown lift from base. Remaining tree reduced 30% so selectively 1.5 meter for most but there are a few limbs that are slightly longer which would need more like 2 meter reduction to bring it into a beautiful healthy shape.
