26/01048/CAT - Conservation Area - Works to Trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

Horse Chestnuts (3) - crown lifting to keep the size of the trees appropriate to the front of the house. We will cut to the same level approved in 2019 (about a 30% reduction) Horse Chestnut (1) - the rotten tree needs to be felled urgently to prevent damage and injury. We do not propose planting a replacement tree at this time - we have already planted a long boundary row of beech trees in the front garden and there is no space under the shading of the other three chestnuts properly to establish another Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

Ewell Village conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Ewell Village. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Public footpath 12 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Heritage at risk: Ewell Village
On the register of historic places assessed as at risk.
A designated building, monument, park or conservation area assessed as at risk from neglect, decay or development. Proposals that secure its future are looked on favourably.
