  Tree Preservation Order EL:10/08 - T1 Pine EL:10/08 The specification below resulted from a pre planning application (site visit 15/10/25) Works proposed are available as annotated images of reference 2025/2311 Branch closest to house (see annotated image). Cut back to stem. Branches x2 growing towards lamp post (see annotated image). Cut back to stem. Branches (dead) x2 growing towards lamp post (see annotated image). Cut back to stem. This is a small step in the right direction and is in keeping with good arboricultural practice so thank you. I did raise the following three concerns at the pre planning meeting and would like them to be recorded on this portal: 1- We remain uneasy about the high number of pine cones falling on to the busy public pavement leading to the church, community hall, common and pond. In the site visit it was very apparent how many people use this path. It is of concern that elderly people in particular may be at risk of stumbling on the loose pine cones especially in the dark. I raised this as potential trip hazard but, it was not felt by EBC to be sufficiently significant to warrant cutting back the overhanging branches. As landowners we are therefore unable to take any action to mitigate this risk. 2- The church building of All Saints Weston Green has just been repainted. The pine now entirely blocks the view from the road and pavement on to this building. Perhaps this doesn't matter but it does seem something of a conflict that we are protecting the benefits of the black pine as a visual amenity but in so doing losing the visual impact of a building on which in the last 12 months over £100,000 of community and public money has been spent. 3- From the point of view of our own house, the tree blocks much light to the front of the house, (thank you for noting that we can remove the branch closest to the house - this will help), the grass is non-existent in the summer, and as noted in the site visit, many plants, small trees and shrubs, dep

  1 Kings Manor Court Oatlands Chase Weybridge Surrey KT13 9SG

  Tree Preservation Order EL:20/08 - T38 - Oak Request to fell to ground level due to the tree's significantly declining condition and reduced long-term viability. The tree has been affected by Oak Processionary Moth (OPM), which has resulted in extensive crown dieback and a substantial reduction in vitality. In addition, the tree has suffered historic ring-barking damage caused during the construction of the adjacent residential development. This damage has disrupted the tree's vascular system and has likely contributed to its ongoing decline and limited ability to recover. The combined effects of OPM infestation and the historic stem damage have resulted in a severely compromised tree with extensive deadwood and dieback throughout the crown. The tree is located adjacent to neighbouring properties and areas of public access, and its deteriorating condition increases the risk of branch failure. Given the extent of the decline, poor physiological condition, and limited prospects for recovery, remedial pruning would not provide a sustainable long-term solution. Permission is therefore sought to fell the tree to ground level on the grounds of safety, declining health, and sound arboricultural management. A new tree wouild be planted to replacement

  53 Wolsey Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9EW

  East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - T1 - Lime tree on rear boundary - tree has a height of approximately 20 metres and spread of approximately 12 metres. Proposed works are to reduce crown by approximately 2-2.5 metres to previous pruning points, remove regrowth on main trunk to lift crown to a height of approximately 3 metres, leaving the tree with a height of approximately 17.5 metres and spread of approximately 8 metres. These works are being carried out to give clearance from pool house, maintain the tree at a reasonable size suitable to location by carrying out cyclical pruning and allowing light into pool area.

  34 Clive Road Esher Surrey KT10 8PS

  Esher Conservation Area - T1 Leyland Cypress (Rear Garden) Fell to ground level. Reason for Works: The tree is situated in very close proximity to the adjacent outbuilding. As the tree has matured, the stem has increased to a diameter at breast height (DBH) of approximately 40 cm and is now in direct contact with the structure, causing abrasion and damage to the building. Due to the ongoing increase in stem diameter, further structural damage is considered likely if the tree is retained. The proposed removal is therefore necessary to prevent additional damage while maintaining the safety and integrity of the adjacent structure. T2 Lawson Cypress (Rear Garden) Remove one large declining lateral limb and carry out a crown clean to remove all deadwood throughout the canopy. Reason for Works: A substantial lateral limb is in decline, exhibiting extensive dieback and a significant reduction in live foliage. The removal of this limb is proposed to reduce the risk of branch failure and improve the tree's overall condition. In addition, deadwood will be removed throughout the crown to eliminate potential hazards, improve canopy health, and form part of routine arboricultural management.
