  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - 1: Ash (fraxinus Excelsior) Tree number 3 on the report: Crown reduce by 2.5m Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. The preliminary maintenance recommendation is to reduce the crown by 2.5m within 6 month and then reassess the tree. Tree has two dysfunctional wounds at 1m and 1.5m to northern aspect of stem. A further dysfunctional area exists at 2m; the site of historic secondary stem removal. Decay extents are a considerable proportion of the stem diameter and continue beneath the existing stem. Exact extents unknown, but extends beyond 400mm in this area. Second major area of dysfunction and decay noted at 4m on retained stem, facing north. Exact decay extents unknown, but tree shows evidence of hollowing at this point. Large 350mm wound on westernmost primary limb at 4.5m which has been caused by limb failure. Tree looks to have been pruned heavily in the distant past at circa 5m, with epicormic growth beyond this. Daldinia concentrica noted at 1m to north of stem, and around second dysfunctional area and historic limb failure site. 2. Cherry Tree (Prunus Avium) Tree number 10 on the report: Fell to the ground Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. Bleeding canker noted on main stem at 1.5m on northern and southern aspect. Considerable area of delamination on westernmost leader at 2.5m; just above union. Limited wound wood noted, but bleeding canker present. Crown historically pruned back from eastern aspect (over neighbours). Foliage is of poor quality and wilting heavily, possibly caused by silver leaf disease in part.

  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - Front Garden: During my site inspection, I re-examined the two significant cavities located at approximately 2.0m and 2.2m along the main trunk. Both cavities are extensive and have definitely compromised the structural integrity of the lower section of the tree. To help reduce mechanical stress and mitigate the risk of structural failure, I recommend carrying out a crown reduction in the near future. Recommendation: Reduce the height by 4m and the lateral spread by 1.5m to balance the crown, leaving a natural, rounded form. The tree's current height is 16m, and its crown spread is 12m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 12m, and the crown spread is 10.5m

  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

  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.
