26/00111/TPO - Tree Preservation Order Approved

Proposal

Oak T1. Prune the west side of the crown above the garage to shorten branch lengths by 1m. Pruning cuts will be made strictly to appropriate growth points to mitigate the stress reaction growth. Oak T2. Prune the tree to reduce the volume of branches overall by 15%. This will be achieved by selectively pruning out branches measuring not more than 1.5m in length and not more than 5cm diameter at the pruning cut point. The selected branches will be shortened by a maximum of 1.5M. This growth is strictly growth that has arisen since the tree suffered a total crown size reduction and the reason is to reduce sail area but more importantly it is to allow the regrowth to calm down, instead of the current congested competitive growth.

Site constraints 5

Air quality management area: AQMA No.3
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
National infrastructure project about 118 m away: Gatwick Airport Northern Runway
The site is about 118 m from the project boundary. Airport, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Also on the record
Inside the Horley (Reigate and Banstead) built-up area; Flood defence about 40 m from the postcode pin (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 20 year flood); Priority habitat about 41 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
