Tree Preservation Order WAL:4/73 - We have a TPO tree in the middle of our garden. I am writing to request to remove the TPO tree from my garden to avoid harm to people. It is a pine tree, TPO Number: WAL: 4/73. The tree drops sizeable heavy branches. Three times now this has happened whilst children have been playing in the garden, also whilst other families children have been playing in the garden. I'm very worried about what would have happened if that branch had hit any of the children, it could have been fatal. I had a tree surgeon around to look at the tree and he said that nothing stands out with the tree. There is nothing he could do to stop this happening. He said that this can happen with pine trees, they will drop branches, especially in summer. This tree is in the center of the back garden. We have other trees all around the garden (one other with TPO). I am happy to leave those as is, since I can keep children away from playing under those trees. I'm happy to pay for and plant a replacement tree at the edge or bottom of the garden, where it would be much safer. There are 5 other pines trees very close to it, which are extremely similar, and hence keep the same vista. Only one of the others has a TPO on it. I do not know why this tree would have a TPO on it, but the other identical trees do not. I have no intention of requesting anything of the other trees since they are not over the middle of any garden, they are in shrubbery space between gardens. The tree is not very visible from the road, since round the back of our house. And where you do see it, the line of site is amongst many other trees (including 5 other pines) so would vista not change. The tree only blocks the view of other trees. The change in view would only be to ourselves, and potentially one neighbor. Both views of which have other trees behind and would not change the vista. But I feel that as it stands, it is a real and present danger to our children (and us). Kind regards, Ian

1 Kings Manor Court Oatlands Chase Weybridge Surrey KT13 9SG
Tree Preservation Order EL:20/08 - T38 - Oak Request to fell to ground level due to the tree's significantly declining condition and reduced long-term viability. The tree has been affected by Oak Processionary Moth (OPM), which has resulted in extensive crown dieback and a substantial reduction in vitality. In addition, the tree has suffered historic ring-barking damage caused during the construction of the adjacent residential development. This damage has disrupted the tree's vascular system and has likely contributed to its ongoing decline and limited ability to recover. The combined effects of OPM infestation and the historic stem damage have resulted in a severely compromised tree with extensive deadwood and dieback throughout the crown. The tree is located adjacent to neighbouring properties and areas of public access, and its deteriorating condition increases the risk of branch failure. Given the extent of the decline, poor physiological condition, and limited prospects for recovery, remedial pruning would not provide a sustainable long-term solution. Permission is therefore sought to fell the tree to ground level on the grounds of safety, declining health, and sound arboricultural management. A new tree wouild be planted to replacement

53 Wolsey Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9EW
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.
