About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

Claygate Foley Estate Conservation Area - Eucalyptus tree. The proposal is to completely remove the tree located in position 1 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 2) Its branches are interfering with an adjacent magnolia tree, which we are keen to allow space to continue to develop. Its growth and shallow roots (as shown in Doc 3) are removing disproportionate water from the ground with potential damage to a nearby pear tree which is c. 100 years old. The tree is not indigenous to the country / area. We have plans to plant new more appropriate trees in our garden which will more than offset the loss to the environment from the removal of this single tree. We have never observed a single nest in the tree or any other form of wildlife. (Its branches move too fluidly making it unstable for nests). Conifer / leylandii hedges. The proposal is to completely remove these high trees / hedges located in position 2 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 4). These are old and are higher / wider than they need to be. They will be replaced by more suitable / less dense alternatives.

8 Midway Walton-On-Thames Surrey KT12 3HY
Tree Preservation Order EL:93/13 - T1 - Oak - Reduce the lateral canopy extending over the property by approximately 3 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points in order to retain a balanced and natural crown form. Current dimensions: Height 15m, crown spread 15m. Reason for works: A significant defect has been identified within the principal lateral limb extending over the property. The limb, which has an approximate diameter of 35cm, contains a cavity extending approximately 20cm into the wood, representing more than half of the limb's diameter. The location and extent of this defect raise concerns regarding the long-term structural integrity of the branch. The tree has previously been subject to more extensive pruning on the neighbouring side but has not been correspondingly reduced within the applicant's property boundary. This has resulted in an unbalanced crown with a greater proportion of the canopy and associated loading concentrated over the property. The proposed reduction is intended to lessen the end weight and wind loading on the affected limb, thereby reducing the risk of branch failure while retaining the tree's overall health, amenity value and natural appearance. The works represent a proportionate arboricultural management approach that will help ensure the continued safe retention of this mature Oak within the landscape. T2 - Oak (please see the attached tree report) Crown Spread: North 6.5m, East 6m, South 5m, West 10.5m Condition: Upright tree with a pronounced south-western canopy bias and excessive end weight on elongated lateral growth. Normal vigour and crown vitality observed. Recently exposed following the failure and removal of an adjacent Silver Birch to the north. A children's play area is located directly beneath the canopy. Defects: Historic pruning wound at 4.5m on the north-eastern stem is occluding with no visible decay. Two woodpecker cavities are present at approximately 6m and 6.5m, extending internally by around 60cm and 3
