  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - Front Garden: During my site inspection, I re-examined the two significant cavities located at approximately 2.0m and 2.2m along the main trunk. Both cavities are extensive and have definitely compromised the structural integrity of the lower section of the tree. To help reduce mechanical stress and mitigate the risk of structural failure, I recommend carrying out a crown reduction in the near future. Recommendation: Reduce the height by 4m and the lateral spread by 1.5m to balance the crown, leaving a natural, rounded form. The tree's current height is 16m, and its crown spread is 12m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 12m, and the crown spread is 10.5m

  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - 1: Ash (fraxinus Excelsior) Tree number 3 on the report: Crown reduce by 2.5m Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. The preliminary maintenance recommendation is to reduce the crown by 2.5m within 6 month and then reassess the tree. Tree has two dysfunctional wounds at 1m and 1.5m to northern aspect of stem. A further dysfunctional area exists at 2m; the site of historic secondary stem removal. Decay extents are a considerable proportion of the stem diameter and continue beneath the existing stem. Exact extents unknown, but extends beyond 400mm in this area. Second major area of dysfunction and decay noted at 4m on retained stem, facing north. Exact decay extents unknown, but tree shows evidence of hollowing at this point. Large 350mm wound on westernmost primary limb at 4.5m which has been caused by limb failure. Tree looks to have been pruned heavily in the distant past at circa 5m, with epicormic growth beyond this. Daldinia concentrica noted at 1m to north of stem, and around second dysfunctional area and historic limb failure site. 2. Cherry Tree (Prunus Avium) Tree number 10 on the report: Fell to the ground Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. Bleeding canker noted on main stem at 1.5m on northern and southern aspect. Considerable area of delamination on westernmost leader at 2.5m; just above union. Limited wound wood noted, but bleeding canker present. Crown historically pruned back from eastern aspect (over neighbours). Foliage is of poor quality and wilting heavily, possibly caused by silver leaf disease in part.

  16 Thames Street Walton-On-Thames Surrey KT12 2PU

  Walton Bridge Street/Church Street Conservation Area - We have 2 cherry trees one on our driveway and one in our back garden. Both are c10m high. We wish to prune them so that the large overhanging branches are reduced by approx 1m. Currently the tree branches overhang our driveway and the pavement next to our house and across our neighbours back garden (the tree is by a shared fence).

Reduce the radial spread of the crown by approximately 1.5m to the North and South, and by approximately 2m to the South-West over the road. Prune the remaining crown as needed to achieve an even crown form.

  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.
