25 Palace Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9DJ
East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - We would like to remove the Yew tree completely as identified in the attached sketches. We wish to remove for these reasons 1) Safety - very close to both 25 and 25A Palace Road buildings. Concern of falling branches into kitchen ceiling window adjacent to tree. Concern of toxicity of tree to young children living at 25 Palace Road. 2) Damage to Property - roots close to foundations of 25 and 25A, already creating damage to decking area of 25A - photo evidence supplied. 3) Creates significant shade to both properties, both 25 and 25A owners would like increased sunlight This tree is not visible from front of property or provide any coverage for other properties to offer amenity value. We would like to plant a new tree in alternative location within garden that is safe for children and pets to make up for loss of this yew. We propose a Fig tree midway down our garden away from all properties. Photos attached showing tree from rear of 25 Palace Road and decking damage at 25A. All owners of 25 and 25A Palace Road would like tree to be removed. A tree surgeon has been consulted and advised this would be possible including removal of trunk and roots.

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.

2026/1784 Granted
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.
