    Tree Preservation Order EL:89/53 - I am writing to formally request consent to carry out remedial pruning on T13 (Lawson Cypress) and T17 (Yew). These trees are located on the western boundary and significantly overhang my garden and parking area. My request is based on the following significant impacts to my living environment: Property Damage and Maintenance: The constant discharge of needles, sap, and bird droppings from these specific trees has caused ongoing damage to my vehicle's paintwork and garden furniture. Loss of Amenity: During warmer months, the volume of debris is so severe that I am unable to hang laundry outside or leave my doors open, as the "mess" enters the home immediately. Health and Hygiene Concerns: I am currently planning to start a family. However, the current state of the garden???carpeted in tree debris and droppings???presents a significant hygiene concern. I do not feel the outdoor space is currently a safe or suitable environment for a young child to play in. Proposed Solution: I am not seeking the removal of these trees. I am requesting a sympathetic lateral reduction of the overhanging branches to the boundary line and a crown lift. This would maintain the trees' contribution to the local area's "special amenity value" while allowing me to reclaim the use of my garden. I believe these works are a reasonable compromise that adheres to the principles of good forestry while alleviating the undue hardship these trees are currently causing.

    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.
