    T1 - Fagus sylvatica (Common Beech).Specification: Remove T1 and replant with a 6ft Fagus sylvatica 'f. purpurea' (Copper Beech) in the same location as T1.Reasons for works: Owners are concerned with the safety, health and longevity of T1, having had multiple comments from visitors as to whether it is safe to be around. Causes for concern:- Main stem has fire damage on the Eastern side which has caused decay beyond the cambium. Sounding for decay is present from the center of the fire damage to approximately 15cm beyond the intact bark on the southern side and 10m on the northern side at 5ft. Photo 1,2 & 3.- The Beech came into leaf approximately 5 weeks later than the other Beech trees in the neighbouring gardens.- The canopy is in moderate condition with more dead wood than usual for a Beech species, especially in the upper crown. Photo 4 & 5.

    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.
