    Tree Preservation Order EL:89/44 - Tree 1 Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) Proposed works: Fell to ground level and grind stump. Replacement tree to be planted elsewhere within the garden. Reason for works: The tree is situated in extremely close proximity to the dwelling within a confined raised planter area and has significantly outgrown its location. There is visible displacement and movement to adjacent retaining structures, paving and hard landscaping, together with cracking evident to the dwelling itself in close proximity to the tree. Concerns also exist regarding the relationship between the tree, nearby drainage infrastructure and foundations within an area. The trees mature size, extensive root buttressing and confined rooting environment make it unsuitable for long term retention in this location. Due to the scale and species of the tree, ongoing cyclical pruning would not provide a sustainable long term management solution or adequately address concerns regarding future structural movement. Replacement planting is proposed elsewhere within the site using a more suitable species to retain amenity value within the garden. Tree 2 Lawson Cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) Proposed works: Fell to ground level and grind stump. Reason for works: The tree is located within a confined planting bed along the boundary and is growing asymmetrically due to limited space and surrounding constraints. The tree is showing signs of decline and thinning foliage, with reduced vitality apparent throughout parts of the canopy. Due to the trees poor form, confined rooting environment and declining condition, removal is proposed. Trees 3 & 4 Oak Trees Proposed works: Reduce canopy by approximately 1.5 metres back to previous pruning points, reducing end weight and reshaping the crowns into one cohesive canopy. Reason for works: The trees are growing in close proximity to one another and have previously been managed together as a single canopy form. Works are proposed

    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.
