    EL:02/25 - G1 - Three Lawson Cypress trees on front verge. Trees have a height of approximately 15 metres and a combined spread of approximately 7 metres, north to south and 2-2.5 metres east to west.

These works are being carried out to give clearance from road, footpath and driveway, reduce windsail in upper crown and allow light into property. G3 - Three Lawson Cypress trees on front verge. Trees have a height of approximately 18 metres and spread of approximately 4.5 metres. Proposed works are to reduce height by approximately 3 metres to match adjacent Monterey Cypress trees and trim side growth to tidy, leaving the trees with a height of approximately 15 metres and spread of approximately 4 metres.

    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.
