  ESH:15 - T1 Poplar Proposed works: Crown reduction Officer comments. Taking into consideration the trees proximity to the building and characteristics of the species, a degree of crown reduction works is considered reasonable. Agreed works for future application: T1 - Poplar: Crown reduce by up to 2.5m back to suitable growth points. Reasons: To manage the trees size in relationship to the house and adjacent Oak tree. T2 London Plane Proposed works: Crown reduction Officer comments: The London Plane has evidence of past pruning to help maintain the size of the tree in relationship to its surroundings. Reducing the tree back to the previous pruning points is considered reasonable cyclical pruning. Agreed works for future application: T2 - London Plan: Crown reduce by up to 3m (back to previous pruning points). Crown lift to provide 5m clearance from ground level. Reason for works: To undertake repeat cyclical pruning of the crown to manage its size in relationship to its surroundings. T3 Poplar Proposed works: Crown reduction Officer comments: The Poplar has a history of past heavy pruning with extensive regrowth. Repeat crown reduction works would be considered reasonable to reduce the loading on the crown. The works are considered repeat cyclical pruning and reasonable arboricultural practice. Agreed works for future application: T3 - Poplar: Crown reduce by up to 3m. Crown lift to provide 5m clearance from ground level. Reasons for works: To undertake repeat cyclical pruning of the crown to manage its size in relationship to its surroundings.

  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.
