    EL:11/26 - Tree T2 of the attached sketch (EL11/26) located on the boundary on No's 2 and 3 Broom Close, Esher , KT10 9ET. Householders have agreed two share the costs associated with this work, The tree is a large mature Beech Tree of approximately 20m in height that requires a crown reduction and the removal of several lower extended limbs. This has become more pressing following the removal of a large Ash Tree that has left the Beech both top heavy and biassed to one side. Given the nature of the root system of Beech trees, there is concern that if this work is not completed, and given the imbalance of its current structure, it could be liable to severe wind damage. The intention of this application is to preserve the integrity and longevity of what is currently a healthy tree. Proposal. 20% (4m) crown reduction and the removal the oversized, extended and very heavy lower limbs.

    Tree Preservation Order EL:11/26 - TPO trees referenced in Tree Preservation Order EL:11/26, i.e. the 1 x Red Oak at location T6 and 2 x Sycamore at G2:T1 Red Oak Approx. 25m HeightLarge Red Oak located in close proximity to the property, with an established lean towards the public highway.Proposed works: Crown reduction by approximately 1.5 - 2m to reduce end loading and mechanical stress on the branch unions associated with the tree's elongated limb structure. Approximately 10% crown thinning throughout to reduce sail area and wind loading, whilst retaining the tree's overall natural form and structural integrity. Crown lift to approximately 3.5m over the driveway to provide adequate clearance.The proposed works are intended to reduce mechanical loading and improve clearance whilst retaining the tree's overall amenity value and natural appearance.T2 - Sycamore - Approx. 15m HeightTwin-stemmed Sycamore with the stems dividing at approximately 0.5m above ground level. The union is included, with one of the stems extending at an extremely acute angle and overhanging neighbouring gardens.Proposed works: Reduce the overextended stem by approximately 2.5-3m to reduce its weight and end loading, thereby reducing mechanical stress on the included union and the likelihood of limb/stem failure. The reduction will be confined to the affected stem, retaining the remainder of the tree's crown and maintaining its overall form and amenity value.

    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.
