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.

9 Lebanon Drive Cobham Surrey KT11 2PR
Tree Preservation Order EL:239 - T1 - Scot pine - Fell to ground level and replace - Reason for Work Description: The owner has observed noticeable movement of the Scots pine, including a change in lean and displacement relative to its original position. During the site visit, evidence of previous ground movement around the base was also recorded. Neighbours have additionally reported that the tree appears to have moved closer to adjacent trees, suggesting potential root plate instability. The crown foliage is now sparse, indicating a possible decline in the tree???s overall vitality. Given the combination of ground movement, reduced crown condition, and the associated risk of structural failure, the proposed work is to fell the Scots pine to ground level in the interest of safety. A suitable replacement tree will be replanted in accordance with TPO requirements.
