  EL:98/24 - Authorisation to proceed with the proposed works following your site visit 19.02.2025 Amenity: MODERATELIMITED. Location: Set within a back garden of private residential property at the end of a culde-sac. The trees have moderate/limited visibility from a public space and are moderately/significantly visible from the adjacent property (Esher rugby club). Most of the properties around Esher Rugby Club playing fields have mature Oak trees lining the shared boundary, adding to the skyline. Proposed work. T3 OAK, remove. T4 Oak, reduce selected branches by approximately 2m and crown lift to 4m from ground level (pruning tertiary branches only or as shown in supplied annotated photos). Reason. T3 OAK, over time home improvement have encroached on T3 bringing pressure to prune. The northern canopy has been cut significantly (almost back to main stem) leaving the tree with a 2-dimensional appearance and significantly reduced amenity, its loss will be barely noticeable and will help the supressed canopy of T4 to develop. T4 OAK has been significantly pruned back from shared boundary with number 9 (after a pre-application). Minor work is now being specified to reduce end weight of elongated lion tailed lateral branches due to higher wind loading from new exposure, when T3 is removed. Dimensions pre-work T4 OAK (approximate): Height, 17m. Crown spread, N7mS6mE6mW9m. Dimensions post work T4 OAK (approximate): Height, 17m. Crown spread, N5-6mS6mE6mW7-8m. Officer comments: T3, T4 OAK is not exempt from application under section 14 of Town and Country Planning Regulations 2012. The work specification is considered to address reasons for work while maintaining a reasonable degree of public amenity with an acceptable impact on tree health.

  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.
