11 Fitzroy Place, Reigate, RH2 7AP

Proposed new dwellinghouse to adjoin existing house and to match the host property. Accommodation to be provided within second floors with side roof slope dormers, plus ground floor single-storey rear additions to both properties.

Apple (T1)-Whole crown reduction from approx. 7m to 5m in height, with lateral spread reduced by approx. 1.5m all round, pruning back to suitable growth points to keep a balanced shape. Branches extending towards the building at No. 34 Croydon Road to be cut back to give approx. 1.5m clearance. Crown thin by approx. 15%, removing crossing, rubbing and congested branches. To keep the tree at a manageable size for fruit, reduce shading of the garden and provide clearance to the neighbouring building. Plum (T2)-Whole crown reduction from approx. 10m to 7m in height, with lateral spread reduced by approx. 1.5m, pruning back to suitable growth points to keep a balanced shape. Branches overhanging the shed to be removed or cut back. Work to be carried out in summer (June?August) to reduce the risk of silver leaf infection. To restore an overgrown fruit tree to a manageable size and reduce shading of the garden.

Sycamore tree - Prune to control the size of the tree due to its proximity to the neighbours house. This will include only the shortening of the longer branches by 1.5m with final pruning cuts being made strictly to appropriate growth points. The remaining branch lengths of the shortened branches will be a minimum of 3m.
