Planning application

80 Wolsey Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9EW

Granted Elmbridge 2024/2411 Tree Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - One of the large lime trees at the bottom of our garden has a decay fungus (the left-hand tree in the photo). The arborist's report (attached) says that the tree should be reduced to 14m to ensure its safety. The tree is within falling distance of seven properties and also Vine Road (KT8). Please could you grant us permission to go ahead with the work? You can see from the photo that the lime tree next to the decayed tree is also incredibly tall for a tree in a residential area. Would we be allowed to reduce that tree to 14 m as well? This would reduce its sail and provide peace of mind.

    Land Side of Portsmouth Road Portsmouth Road Cobham KT11 2NH

    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.
