Raindrew House 92 Queens Road Hersham Walton-On-Thames Surrey KT12 5LL
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Oak, adjacent to footpath. Reduce crown by 2m. Crown lift 5 m above highway, remove deadwood. Reason; large birds appeared to be accessing a cavity within the main stem (3-4m above ground level) therefore, it's reasonable to assume the cavity is large enough to specify some work at this point. However, I suggest a competent person inspects the cavity to assess its significance on the tree. Final height: approximately 14-15m Final radial spread: No change. T2 Oak, middle of drive. Crown thin previous reduction points by 20%, removing branches up to 30 mm diameter, pruning smallest diameter first. Crown lift 5m above ground level, remove dead wood. Reason; good arboricultural practice (BS 3998:2010), reducing potential of outcompeted branches from failing in high winds and allowing better development of the more established re-growth. Final height: No change Final spread: No change T3 Oak. Prune away from structures allowing 2m clearance, remove deadwood, Crown reduce by 1.5m. Reason; T3 appears stressed with some die back of the tips and thinning crown. Most of the branches appear long and slender with most of the leaf area at branch extremities, reducing damping that can increase risk of branch failure. Final height: Approximately 16m Final radial spread: Approximately 4-5m (average).

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.
