Proposal

The tree opposite numbers 39 and 43 is the most critical , requiring several branches to be cut back to achieve the minimum 5.4m headroom Surrey Highway's require over the width of Church Road used by vehicles. Tree 2 is consider to be less critical. We are not sure what type of trees both are but they are easily identifiable as being the ones concerned. The intention is to cut back to the main trunk those 2 or 3 branches both trees that are infringing the 5.4m headroom zone. Thus, the majority of the branches, which are at a much higher level, will not be touched at this time. The length of the branches to be removed is of the order of up to about 5m in order to avoid reoccurrence of the same problem within a year or so. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 10

Grade I listed: Church of St Bartholomew
List entry 1378035 · 4 m away · 8 more listed buildings within 150 m (8 Grade II)
Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
Conservation_Area.TAB 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.
Public footpath 17 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.
National infrastructure project 105 m away: Gatwick Airport Northern Runway
The site is 105 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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
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 Horley (Reigate and Banstead) built-up area; Air quality management area 41 m away: AQMA No.3; Flood defence 47 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); Green belt 56 m away: London.
Not affected
No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. 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.
