   Decision issued: Refuse Proposed Tree Work

3. 14 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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:183 - Oak (T1) - Fell due to presence of Phytopthora and advanced condition of tree. We have been managing the decline of this tree for a number of years now and upon the last visit felt that it has now become structurally unsound and extremely unbalanced. It has had all the branches on the house side removed completely due to dye back.

  Tree Preservation Order EL:183 - T1 Oak (Quercus robur) approximately 16m in height with a crown spread of 13m. Remove epicormic growth from the stem and scaffold branches up to the first major union at approximately 6m above ground level. Selectively reduce the northern crown sector over the dwelling by up to 1.5m and undertake a crown lift to approximately 6m above ground level. Reduce the lowest south western secondary limb by up to 2m. Reduce the associated primary limb extending over the road by up to 5m, or back to the nearest suitable growth point, to reduce end weight and improve branch structure. Selectively reduce the north western crown sector by up to 1.5m to maintain a balanced crown form. T2 Oak (Quercus robur) approximately 17m in height with a crown spread of 9m. Remove epicormic growth from the stem up to the crown break. Undertake a crown lift to approximately 6m above ground level to match the clearance of T1. Reduce the limb containing the cavity back to a suitable growth point, or remove the limb if inspection confirms that the extent of decay compromises structural stability. Where structurally appropriate, retain the limb in a reduced form to preserve its habitat value. Selectively reduce the lowest north eastern limbs over the dwelling by up to 2m. All pruning works to be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010.

  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.
