    2026/1312 Submitted 8 May 2026 50 yards away

    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

  • 2026/1983 Granted

    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.

    Little Heath House The Ridings Cobham Surrey KT11 2PU

    Tree Preservation Order EL:94/18 - T1- Oak tree- The reduction of the entire tree by 3m to reduce the risk of over loaded branches breaking out in high winds. Branches have been breaking out from this tree and the homeowner worries that about ranch will eventually hit the house. Current height 18m, resulting height will be 15m. Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. Removal of all dead and dangerous branches. T2- Beech tree- Fell- Removal of this tree down to ground level to ease the congestion in the area and allow light through to the area below.

The upper canopy has been rubbing on neighbouring branches and has intertwined with both Oak trees creating extensive damage to the main stem in the upper canopy creating weak points on the tree. T3- Large Oak tree- Reduce the entire crown of this tree by up to 3 metres. This tree is far too large being so close to the neighbours building and drops lots of debris into the gardens below making the children's play area unusable at times.

Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. T4- Sweet chestnut tree- This tree creates a lot of debris through out the year and creates a lot of shade over the lawn and plants.
