17 Hurley Close Walton-On-Thames Surrey KT12 1LP
Tree Preservation Order EL:89/53 - I am writing to formally request consent to carry out remedial pruning on T13 (Lawson Cypress) and T17 (Yew). These trees are located on the western boundary and significantly overhang my garden and parking area. My request is based on the following significant impacts to my living environment: Property Damage and Maintenance: The constant discharge of needles, sap, and bird droppings from these specific trees has caused ongoing damage to my vehicle's paintwork and garden furniture. Loss of Amenity: During warmer months, the volume of debris is so severe that I am unable to hang laundry outside or leave my doors open, as the "mess" enters the home immediately. Health and Hygiene Concerns: I am currently planning to start a family. However, the current state of the garden???carpeted in tree debris and droppings???presents a significant hygiene concern. I do not feel the outdoor space is currently a safe or suitable environment for a young child to play in. Proposed Solution: I am not seeking the removal of these trees. I am requesting a sympathetic lateral reduction of the overhanging branches to the boundary line and a crown lift. This would maintain the trees' contribution to the local area's "special amenity value" while allowing me to reclaim the use of my garden. I believe these works are a reasonable compromise that adheres to the principles of good forestry while alleviating the undue hardship these trees are currently causing.

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.
