  EL:89/29 - T1 Common Beech is a tall and prominent tree situated at the entrance of Copsem Way and immediately adjacent to the road serving the private estate. A large primary limb has recently failed in the low southwestern canopy and has subsequently been pruned back to the nearest suitable secondary branch, situated approximately 1 metre from the main stem. The limb beneath has been reduced by approximately 3.5m, to suitable secondary branching, to mitigate any likelihood of shedding (this limb was overlong and had become newly exposed due to the loss of the large primary limb above). No details of any cracking or significant damage have been provided by the arborists who undertook the recent tree surgery works. The remaining canopy is leggy and could be reduced by 1-2m to improve balance and aesthetics. Sensitive pruning is required with a drop crotched approach necessary. All pruning should be back to suitable sublateral growth points and pruning wounds should not exceed 10cm diameter. The current height and average radial spread is 24.3m & 9m respectively. The height and radial spread after sensitive reduction works have been completed must be no less than 22.3m & 7m respectively. All deadwood should be removed at the same visit.

  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.
