    Tree Preservation Order EL:93/13 - T1 - Oak - Reduce the lateral canopy extending over the property by approximately 3 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points in order to retain a balanced and natural crown form. Current dimensions: Height 15m, crown spread 15m. Reason for works: A significant defect has been identified within the principal lateral limb extending over the property. The limb, which has an approximate diameter of 35cm, contains a cavity extending approximately 20cm into the wood, representing more than half of the limb's diameter. The location and extent of this defect raise concerns regarding the long-term structural integrity of the branch. The tree has previously been subject to more extensive pruning on the neighbouring side but has not been correspondingly reduced within the applicant's property boundary. This has resulted in an unbalanced crown with a greater proportion of the canopy and associated loading concentrated over the property. The proposed reduction is intended to lessen the end weight and wind loading on the affected limb, thereby reducing the risk of branch failure while retaining the tree's overall health, amenity value and natural appearance. The works represent a proportionate arboricultural management approach that will help ensure the continued safe retention of this mature Oak within the landscape. T2 - Oak (please see the attached tree report) Crown Spread: North 6.5m, East 6m, South 5m, West 10.5m Condition: Upright tree with a pronounced south-western canopy bias and excessive end weight on elongated lateral growth. Normal vigour and crown vitality observed. Recently exposed following the failure and removal of an adjacent Silver Birch to the north. A children's play area is located directly beneath the canopy. Defects: Historic pruning wound at 4.5m on the north-eastern stem is occluding with no visible decay. Two woodpecker cavities are present at approximately 6m and 6.5m, extending internally by around 60cm and 3

    Tree Preservation Order EL:93/13 - A large corkscrew willow. Over time the trunk has become diseased (pictures available) and large chunks have fallen away. The wood left is quite spongy. WG Harpur tree surgeons has visited and proposed that for best recovery and safety (with the weakened trunk) that a major pollard down to a few metres is necessary. That would then be repeated every 3 - 5 years depending on the re-growth and condition of the tree. Apart from the costs involved in the pollarding, we love the tree we would prefer to do nothing to it if some expert could say that it is safe to leave it and it will repair itself. I.E. avoid doing any work on a TPO tree which is normally what Elmbridge prefer. I was hoping that an Elmbridge Tree Officer might offer that independent view.
