  25 Palace Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9DJ

  East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - We would like to remove the Yew tree completely as identified in the attached sketches. We wish to remove for these reasons 1) Safety - very close to both 25 and 25A Palace Road buildings. Concern of falling branches into kitchen ceiling window adjacent to tree. Concern of toxicity of tree to young children living at 25 Palace Road. 2) Damage to Property - roots close to foundations of 25 and 25A, already creating damage to decking area of 25A - photo evidence supplied. 3) Creates significant shade to both properties, both 25 and 25A owners would like increased sunlight This tree is not visible from front of property or provide any coverage for other properties to offer amenity value. We would like to plant a new tree in alternative location within garden that is safe for children and pets to make up for loss of this yew. We propose a Fig tree midway down our garden away from all properties. Photos attached showing tree from rear of 25 Palace Road and decking damage at 25A. All owners of 25 and 25A Palace Road would like tree to be removed. A tree surgeon has been consulted and advised this would be possible including removal of trunk and roots.

  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.
