    Cobham The Tilt Conservation Area - Seeking permission to remove one overgrown, non-native (Thuja) tree within the Tilt Conservation Area. The reasons for removal are outlined below: Character Appraisal: The identified tree is non-native, show signs of decay, and have reached a mature height that is inappropriate for their location. They do not make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the Tilt Conservation Area, as outlined in the Tilt Conservation Area Character Appraisal & Management Plan. Situated at an important boundary location, the trees have become overly dominant and have a detrimental impact on the cohesiveness of the surrounding housing. Safety Concerns: The tree overgrowth has already caused significant damage to the road on Ashfford Gardens - the tree now significantly overhangs the public road. This presents a safety hazard for both pedestrians and passing vehicles, especially during high winds or adverse weather conditions. The risk of falling branches adds further urgency to the request for action. This also presents an ongoing trip hazard and a clear legal risk to the Council if a member of the public were to sustain injuries from tripping (cf JMP vs Cardiff Council, 2018). Loss of Light: The heavy overgrowth of the trees (up to 10m+ in height and 6m+ in width) significantly reduces natural light at the rear of the property at 102 Tilt Road (and adjoining priorities). The dense canopy blocks sunlight to the back of the house, impacting the living environment and outdoor amenity space. Energy & environment Increased energy consumption: Due to the lack of natural light and warmth, residents are relying heavily on artificial lighting and heating - up to 14 hours a day, 12 months a year. This has both financial and environmental consequences, increasing household bills and carbon emissions. Proposed Replanting and Conservation Enhancement: The trees will be replaced by native species, including hedgerows and understory vegetation,

    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.
