  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - Front Garden: During my site inspection, I re-examined the two significant cavities located at approximately 2.0m and 2.2m along the main trunk. Both cavities are extensive and have definitely compromised the structural integrity of the lower section of the tree. To help reduce mechanical stress and mitigate the risk of structural failure, I recommend carrying out a crown reduction in the near future. Recommendation: Reduce the height by 4m and the lateral spread by 1.5m to balance the crown, leaving a natural, rounded form. The tree's current height is 16m, and its crown spread is 12m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 12m, and the crown spread is 10.5m

  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - 1: Ash (fraxinus Excelsior) Tree number 3 on the report: Crown reduce by 2.5m Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. The preliminary maintenance recommendation is to reduce the crown by 2.5m within 6 month and then reassess the tree. Tree has two dysfunctional wounds at 1m and 1.5m to northern aspect of stem. A further dysfunctional area exists at 2m; the site of historic secondary stem removal. Decay extents are a considerable proportion of the stem diameter and continue beneath the existing stem. Exact extents unknown, but extends beyond 400mm in this area. Second major area of dysfunction and decay noted at 4m on retained stem, facing north. Exact decay extents unknown, but tree shows evidence of hollowing at this point. Large 350mm wound on westernmost primary limb at 4.5m which has been caused by limb failure. Tree looks to have been pruned heavily in the distant past at circa 5m, with epicormic growth beyond this. Daldinia concentrica noted at 1m to north of stem, and around second dysfunctional area and historic limb failure site. 2. Cherry Tree (Prunus Avium) Tree number 10 on the report: Fell to the ground Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. Bleeding canker noted on main stem at 1.5m on northern and southern aspect. Considerable area of delamination on westernmost leader at 2.5m; just above union. Limited wound wood noted, but bleeding canker present. Crown historically pruned back from eastern aspect (over neighbours). Foliage is of poor quality and wilting heavily, possibly caused by silver leaf disease in part.

  Tree Preservation Order EL:89/15 - T1 - Oak - reduce overall by 3m and raise canopy up to 5m by removing secondary branches to leave a finished height of 15m and a finished spread of 9m. The Oak has developed into a large tree for its present location within a relatively confined rear residential garden, with the crown extending in close proximity to the boundary with the neighbouring property. The proposed works are intended to manage the tree's overall size and crown dimensions in relation to its setting, while retaining its contribution to the local amenity. The proposed work will maintain the tree at a more appropriate scale for its location and will provide greater clearance from the neighbouring property and improve the relationship between the tree and the surrounding residential garden environment. The works are intended as a proportionate management measure rather than removal of the tree, allowing the oak to be retained while reducing its current size and encroachment within a confined residential setting.

  Tree Preservation Order EL:94/18 - T1- Oak tree- The reduction of the entire tree by 3m to reduce the risk of over loaded branches breaking out in high winds. Branches have been breaking out from this tree and the homeowner worries that about ranch will eventually hit the house. Current height 18m, resulting height will be 15m. Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. Removal of all dead and dangerous branches. T2- Beech tree- Fell- Removal of this tree down to ground level to ease the congestion in the area and allow light through to the area below. Multiple wounds on this tree that haven't healed but have decayed. The upper canopy has been rubbing on neighbouring branches and has intertwined with both Oak trees creating extensive damage to the main stem in the upper canopy creating weak points on the tree. T3- Large Oak tree- Reduce the entire crown of this tree by up to 3 metres. This tree is far too large being so close to the neighbours building and drops lots of debris into the gardens below making the children's play area unusable at times. The tree casts an almighty shadow over the neighbours garden. This tree has a lot of dead wood within the canopy and also has OPM present. Current height 18m, remaining height 15m. Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. T4- Sweet chestnut tree- This tree creates a lot of debris through out the year and creates a lot of shade over the lawn and plants. To re pollard this tree back to previous pruned areas retaining the lower limb which has the rope swing attached. Regrowth approximately 2.5m of new growth. T5- Sweet chestnut- This tree creates a lot of debris through out the year and creates a lot of shade over the lawn and plants. Reduce the height of this tree by 3 metres, remove all dead wood & all lower basal growth up to the height of 5m. Current height 12m, resulting height 9m.
