    Tree Preservation Order EL:186 - A recent tree survey identified structural concerns with this willow, notably a weak fork union in the northwestern stem, which is heavily weighted and extends over the visitor parking spaces. Willow timber is known to be relatively weak and prone to failure, especially where unions are poorly formed or under asymmetric loading. To mitigate the risk of structural failure, the following works are proposed: Reduce both substems above the weak union by 3 metres in length to relieve pressure and rebalance the canopy. Reduce 1 no. large northern lateral limb, which is overextended and overhanging the visitor parking area, by 3 metres to reduce leverage and potential hazard. The proposed works are intended to:Address a known structural weakness. Reduce end-loading on vulnerable limbs. Maintain public safety around the car park. Preserve the tree's health and form in line with BS3998:2010 Tree Work - Recommendations

    Tree Preservation Order EL:186 - The tree is a Sycamore with TPO number T53 on a badge on it's trunk . On our Tree TPO report from Elmbridge ( circa 1984 ) T53 is stated to be a Holly so we suspect that the badge has been moved over the years and that this sycamore is not actually TPO'd . Nevertheless we wish to move with caution hence this application . We wish to entirely remove this tree as it is in poor health but more importantly it is growing aggressively into the space occupied by a beautiful specimen Poplar tree which we wish to allow to grown. The tree in question is also close to one of our 150 year old Sequoia and we are trying to ensure this area is in prime condition for all specimen trees to flourish.

    EL:186 - Oak Tree - Crown Reduction and Light Improvement. The oak tree located within a heavily shaded rear garden adjacent to a woodland is now overhanging a neighbouring garden, contributing to significant shading and loss of natural light to both the client's and neighbouring properties. To improve light and manage future growth, the tree will be sympathetically crown reduced by approximately 1.5 metres across the upper and lateral canopy, with an additional 10% crown thin to allow increased light while retaining the tree's natural form, structural integrity, and overall vitality.
