    17 Ashcroft Park Cobham Surrey KT11 2DN

    Tree Preservation Order: EL:11/05 - T1- Lime (tilia)- The tree is located in a southerly direction in the back garden of the property. The client proposes removal of epicormic growth up to the crown break (approximately 6m up). The tree is currently 18m high 6m wide and will remain the same following the proposed works. This will allow more light into the property. T2- Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) located again in a southerly direction to the rear of the property. The client proposes a reduction in hight by 4m because they're concerned about the size of the tree and proximity to the house following some branches failing. The tree is currently 24m high and 6m wide and will be 20m high and 6m wide following the proposed works. T3- Yew (taxus baccata) located in a southerly direction to the rear of the property. The client proposes felling the tree as it is declining, half the tree has died already and the client would like the rest removed before it causes damage to property. The tree is currently 13m high and 4m wide.
