PL/26/07323/TP - Works to trees covered by TPO Registered

Proposal

Crown reduction of lateral branches by up to 2m extending towards neighbouring property, selective reduction of overextended limbs to improve branch stability and reduce end-weight, removal of damaged, fractured, or structurally weak branches of T1 (Lime) following substantial branch failure causing damage to neighbouring property, works to reduce risk of further failure and to improve public and property safety, and mitigate risk of overextended limbs overhanging the boundary; crown reduction of branches extending towards the main building by approximately 3m clearance from the structure, removal of any damaged, diseased or structurally weak branches of T2 (Beech) growing close to main building, works to reduce risk of conflict, damage to the property and the potential for future branch failure affecting the built form.

Site constraints 4

Tree preservation order
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Farnham Common and Farnham Royal built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England 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.
