4 Fairford Close Reigate Surrey RH2 0EY

Awaiting decision Reigate and Banstead 26/01580/TPO Trees

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.

As published by the council, reference 26/01580/TPO
