  WAL:12/72 - The tree is a Silver Birch tree located in the front of the property shown as T2 on the plan. Pre application advice obtained from a council tree officer indicated that the tree was in a healthy physiological and structural condition. The twin stemmed tree has a relatively broad crown and a limited amount of crown reduction is requested to lessen the loading on the crown. Specifically agreement is sought to crown thin by up to 10% and crown lift to provide 3m clearance by removing secondary and tertiary growth only. The reasons for requesting this work are to provide greater clearance underneath the crown and reduce the amount of resistance on the crown and structure during high winds.

  WAL:12/72 - Tree species: Conifer - Crown reduction because of excessive shading to garden at 1 Ashley Park Road and proximity to house at 1 Ashley Park Road. Height reduction by 6m and width reduction by 3.5m so tree height from approx 18m to 12m and width from approx 9.5m to 6m, particularly at the bottom close to the side of 1 Ashley Park Road. Remove lower branches close to side roof and boiler flue / extractor fan vents and air conditioning unit vents on 1 Ashley Park Roaad. Reasons for works: This tree takes up a significant amount of light from the background all year round because of it's height and width and proximity to 1 Ashley Park Road as well as its branches covering much of the side of the house at 1 Ashley Park Road, including the boiler flues, extractor fan vent and air conditioning units. Despite not requesting the tree to be felled, we have planted several wildlife hedges and trees in the garden already.

  20 Albany Close Esher Surrey KT10 9JR

  Tree Preservation Order EL:89/15 - T1 - Oak - reduce overall by 3m and raise canopy up to 5m by removing secondary branches to leave a finished height of 15m and a finished spread of 9m. The Oak has developed into a large tree for its present location within a relatively confined rear residential garden, with the crown extending in close proximity to the boundary with the neighbouring property. The proposed works are intended to manage the tree's overall size and crown dimensions in relation to its setting, while retaining its contribution to the local amenity. The proposed work will maintain the tree at a more appropriate scale for its location and will provide greater clearance from the neighbouring property and improve the relationship between the tree and the surrounding residential garden environment. The works are intended as a proportionate management measure rather than removal of the tree, allowing the oak to be retained while reducing its current size and encroachment within a confined residential setting.
