Description

T1: Holm Oak (Surrey Highways) - Reduce lateral branches overhanging No2 by up to 3m to boundary fence line.

T3: Purple Leaf Plum - Crown reduce by up to 2m. Crown thin 20%.

Decision

The Committee noted a presentation from the Tree Officer. This item was presented to the Committee as it was notification for tree works in a Conservation Area made by an Epsom and Ewell Borough Councillor.

Following consideration, the Committee resolved by a majority vote in favor to approve the recommendation of the report, that:

“Epsom & Ewell Borough Council has considered the proposal and raises no objections to the proposed work described above.  These works must be carried out within 2 years from the date of this notice.  If for any reason the work is not carried out within that time a new notification should be made to the Council. 

Informative

Although the Local Planning Authority have raised no objection to your tree work proposal this is on the basis that it is not considered appropriate to protect the trees by tree preservation order.  However, the tree work to the Holm Oak tree located on the verge does not constitute sound arboricultural practice and results in canopy imbalance.  It is recommended that the applicant informs the Highway Authority about the impact of the tree work on the balance of tree over the public highway.”
