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 - I wish to remove a very large sycamore tree (no TPO) from my back garden - marked "no 3" on attached diagram ref 001 - and replace it with a smaller, native tree. (eg a rowan, malus or amelanchier). The tree is between 16 meters - 18 meters tall, fast growing, but not visible from Arnison Road. It is planted very close to the boundary with my neighbours at 16 Arnison Road, and is causing a significant loss of light to both gardens. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to control the excessive number of seedlings it casts into both gardens. Please note my neighbours at 16 Arnison Road have been consulted and are very much in favour of the proposed works.

2026/1836 Granted
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.
