   Decision issued: Grant Consent

3. 19 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

  Tree Preservation Order EL:90/09 - Tree Number 1 on the plan is a London Plane, between 35 and 40 metres tall. It blocks out much of the light in the garden in the morning, and impedes the growth of False Acacia (tree Number 2 below). It has branches protruding over the drive of our neighbour (9 Esher Place Avenue), and also over the road and the verge which has a great deal of pedestrian traffic. We have applied a number of time for permission for a crown reduction, but have only been permitted to do thinning. As a result the tree has continued to grow, and now is at least 15 metres taller than when we bought the house 28 years ago. It is now three times the height of number 9 Esher Place Avenue and is causing our neighbours concern for their personal safety and concern about damage to their property. This is outlined in their attached email. We are concerned about the risk from storms and high winds, particularly if the roots have been weakened by the very dry weather over the last 2 or 3 years. Now we would like permission to do a crown reduction of 5-8 metres and corresponding shaping, to include removal of branches overhanging the verge and road Tree Number 2 is a False Acacia, approximately 20 m tall. This has been crowded out by Trees Numbers 1 and 3. As a result, its limbs have become hyper extended laterally, and particularly towards the house and roof of our neighbours. Limbs are now touching the walls, windows and roof of the house, as well as overhanging their drive. We believe that this is now becoming dangerous as well as intrusive. We therefore wish to be able to reduce the height of the tree by 2 metres and also shorten or remove the lateral branches touching and close to the house of the neighbours. Tree Number 3 is a London Plane, between 35 and 40 metres tall. It has many of the issues described above concerning Tree Number 1. It overshadows our garden and blocks out even more light. And in addition it also has branches growing very close to the h

  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.
