Planning application
4 Fairford Close Reigate Surrey RH2 0EY
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Hornbeam: Reduce crown by shortening branch length by a maximum of 2m but pruning cuts will be made to appropriate growth points as a priority, rather than removing entire branches to previous cuts.The reason is good tree management due the tree being positioned very close to the neighbours house.
