    Tree Preservation Order EL:89/35 - To prune the Horse Chestnut tree as labelled as number 4 on the Tree Protection Plan, which is protected by TPO EL:89/35. We wish to reduce the crown by 1.5m inline with the other pruning agreed on all the TPO trees at the north east edge border of the property that is shared with 131 Fairmile. This tree has already been pruned on the other side to agreed spec of 1.5m and max diameter of 50mm. This is to take the crown away from the property and provide sufficient clearance.

    Tree Preservation Order EL:89/35 - mature Oak tree situated in neighbouring garden on rear boundary. Tree has a height of approximately 19 metres and overall spread of approximately 15 metres. Proposed works are to reduce branches overhanging garden of 10 Burstead Close which in some areas of the crown have become over extended and stretch approximately 7-8 metres from main trunk. These branches will be reduced by approximately 2-2.5 metres. These works will only affect crown overhanging garden area to west, leaving spread of the tree at approximately 12-12.5m and not affecting the height of the tree. These works are being carried out to reduce end weight and allow light into garden area.

    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

    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.
