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.

1 Kings Mead Park Claygate Esher Surrey KT10 0NS
Tree Preservation Order EL:09/40 - T1 Copper beech on attached document. 1. Reduce crown on south east side of the tree in line with green line on plan. Reason: Recent high winds during Storm Conall brought down branches and caused damage to rear lower level roof (guttering damage). Crown has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and this would make the tree crown better proportions. 2. Thin the crown 10% Reason: Crown has grown thick again since last work carried out in 2017 and this would aid light transmission to neighbouring garden and benefit tree health. 3. Remove dead branches Reason: To improve tree health 4. Reduce crown on North East side of the property in line with green line on plan. Reason: Tree has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and now overhangs neighbouring property garden and corner of the house. Preventative measure to reduce risk of damage to property from falling objects.

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
