EL:24/04 & EL:227 - Oak tree at entrance- Raise the lower canopy over the footpath & road by 5.2m as legally required. T2- Oak tree by white sign- Remove all deadwood from this tree to ensure safety of road users. This tree has had the deadwood removed before but is in decline & dying back further. T3- Large Oak tree on the boundary- Crown reduce this by 2.5m. Historic wound approx 8m up the main stem. Upon closer inspection at the base, I have discovered 4x areas of basal decay and evidence of a fungal fruiting body, indication of a disease of some kind. Too far decomposed to identify. Reduce on safety grounds. Current height 12.5m, resulting height 10m. T4- Oak tree over bin area- Reduce the 2x over extended limbs by 2 metres so not to be caught by high winds. This tree has fungal fruiting bodies at the base, unidentifiable at this stage. This tree was hit by lightening in February 2025 and has shown signs of die back since. T5- Robinia tree over garages- Reduce the entire crown by 1.5m to retain shape & discourage snapping out branches over the garage & making area below. Current height 7.5m, resulting height to be 6m. Reduce over extended branch over lawn by 3m to stop from breaking out in high winds and better shape the tree.. T6-Silver birch tree- Fell- This tree is in decline and rapidly dying. Positioned alongside a private but busy footpath, for safety reasons should be removed. T8-Horse chestnut on boundary- Reduce the height by 3m. The large younger back stem has a decay pocket at the base. This reduction will relieve the stress at this area. Current height 10m, resulting height 7m. T9-Conifer- Reduce the height down by 2.5m to previously pruned area to remove dying top & to reshape the tree. Current height 6m, resulting height 3.5m. T10- Conifer by entrance- Remove this dying tree. This tree is close to the entrance and a potential hazard if it were to collapse. T11- Sweet chestnut- Trim back from street light to give a clearance of 3m. T12- Horse chestn

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.
