Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Check what information you need to include with this type of application below.

Check the national requirements on the Planning Portal (opens new window)

Local requirements

If you are felling a tree, you must give details of the replacements you will plant.

Otherwise, there are no local requirements. However, we may be more likely to accept your information if you include the following:

  • annotated photographs which show the proposed works
  • a report by a tree professional (arboriculturist) or other appropriate expert
  • details of any assistance or advice sought from the Local Planning Authority before submitting this form
  • details of replacement trees (this is only a requirement if you want to cut trees down)
