82 Greenacres, Oxted, Surrey, RH8 0PB
Proposal
Please refer to photo provided: T1) - English oak - in rear garden - Estimated height of 20m, north canopy spread 2m, East canopy spread 7m, South canopy spread 11m, West canopy spread 8m. Due to the asymmetrical canopy towards the properties and the heavy leaning southern direction stem, we would like to crown reduce the southern spread back by approximately 2-3m and the east and west spread by approximately 1-1.5m and lift canopy to 3m from ground level to suitable growth points for general maintenance reasons.

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.
