Planning application

15 Stompond Lane Walton-On-Thames Surrey KT12 1HE

Granted Elmbridge 2024/2131 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

WAL:12/72 - The tree is a Silver Birch tree located in the front of the property shown as T2 on the plan. Pre application advice obtained from a council tree officer indicated that the tree was in a healthy physiological and structural condition. The twin stemmed tree has a relatively broad crown and a limited amount of crown reduction is requested to lessen the loading on the crown. Specifically agreement is sought to crown thin by up to 10% and crown lift to provide 3m clearance by removing secondary and tertiary growth only. The reasons for requesting this work are to provide greater clearance underneath the crown and reduce the amount of resistance on the crown and structure during high winds.

    WAL:12/72 - Tree species: Conifer - Crown reduction because of excessive shading to garden at 1 Ashley Park Road and proximity to house at 1 Ashley Park Road. Height reduction by 6m and width reduction by 3.5m so tree height from approx 18m to 12m and width from approx 9.5m to 6m, particularly at the bottom close to the side of 1 Ashley Park Road. Remove lower branches close to side roof and boiler flue / extractor fan vents and air conditioning unit vents on 1 Ashley Park Roaad. Reasons for works: This tree takes up a significant amount of light from the background all year round because of it's height and width and proximity to 1 Ashley Park Road as well as its branches covering much of the side of the house at 1 Ashley Park Road, including the boiler flues, extractor fan vent and air conditioning units. Despite not requesting the tree to be felled, we have planted several wildlife hedges and trees in the garden already.

    Tree Preservation Order EL:18/07 - T1 - Horse chestnut - Proposed Works: Crown lift over the roadside only to provide a minimum clearance of 5.2 metres above ground level. All pruning shall be limited to secondary branches where practicable and carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, with a maximum pruning wound diameter of 50mm. Reason for Proposed Works: Following a tree survey, it was identified that the crown over the carriageway has been subject to contact from larger vehicles in the past. The proposed crown lift will provide appropriate clearance for high-sided vehicles, reducing the likelihood of future vehicle strikes and preventing unnecessary damage to the tree, whilst retaining its long-term health and amenity value.
