Planning application
RU.26/0855
1 A Liberty Lane Addlestone Surrey KT15 1LU
Proposal
T1 - Lawson Cypress - fell to ground level - the root system has extended beyond the property boundary and is causing significant uplift to the public footway adjacent to the property. This presents a potential trip hazard to pedestrians and has the potential to expose the property owner and highway authority to ongoing maintenance and liability issues. Due to the species, size and proximity of the tree to the highway, the root growth is expected to continue, resulting in further damage. Pruning the roots is unlikely to provide a sustainable solution and may compromise the structural stability and health of the tree. Felling the tree is therefore considered the most appropriate long-term solution to prevent further damage to the public highway and eliminate the risk to public safety. Replanting in this location would be inappropriate due to the reasons above.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Runnymede 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 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
