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.

Tree Preservation Order EL:91/02 - TG2 - Common Lime - Crown reduction by up to 1 metres in height and spread - reason for work: The proposed crown reduction of the 2 Common lime by up to 1 metre in height and spread is intended to maintain the tree at or close to its current dimensions, ensuring it remains appropriate for the location in which it is situated. The works will help manage future growth while retaining a balanced and aesthetically pleasing crown, with only a limited impact on the tree's health and amenity value. All pruning works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 - Tree Work Recommendations, with pruning wounds kept to a minimum and not exceeding approximately 30mm in diameter.

East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - TG1 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - 2 trees both the same location on map and work specification Two Sycamore trees (Acer pseudoplatanus) Proposed works (description) Crown reduction of both Sycamore trees by an average of approximately 1.5 metres, with over-extended limbs reduced by up to 2 metres. Works to be carried out evenly and selectively throughout the crowns to maintain their current overall size and to leave a natural, flowing, and aesthetically pleasing crown form. Maximum pruning wound diameter not to exceed 50mm. Reason for works The proposed crown reduction is intended to maintain the trees at or close to their current crown dimensions and to prevent further increase in size due to the trees being in very close proximity to the building at the rear of the property. The trees have been heavily reduced in the past, and continued cyclical crown management is considered appropriate to control regrowth, maintain structural balance, and reduce the need for more severe works in the future. All works will be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 - Tree Work Recommendations, with the aim of retaining the trees while having only a limited impact on their health, amenity value, and long-term condition.

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
