Planning application
RU.26/0798
The American School In Switzerland Coldharbour Lane Thorpe Surrey TW20 8TE
Proposal
01 - Sycamore - Reduce overall size of crown by 2.5m 01 - The works will reduce the end weight on elongated re-growth arising from previous pruning points, there by assisting in the management of branch loading and reducing mechanical stress on the crown structure. The reduction will also maintain appropriate clearance from surrounding structures and prevent the need for more severe intervention in the future. All pruning cuts will be made in accordance with british standards institution Bs3998: Tree work recommendations, by pruning back to suitable growth points and preserving the trees natural form.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

8 Lodge Close Englefield Green Surrey TW20 0JF
T1 - Birch - fell and stump grind - tree in very poor condition: A large basal cavity extending well into the buttress/root flare. Advanced decay with soft, crumbly wood, likely white rot. Strong callus growth around the wound, showing the tree has been trying to compartmentalise the defect for a while. Epicormic shoots emerging from the base, which can be a stress response. As such the tree is now a likely risk for basal failure. Tree will be replaced with another Birch
