    Tree Preservation Order EL:04/32 - Tree Works Specification (TPO Reference: EL 40/32) Tree A - Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa) TPO Reference: EL 40/32 Sketch Plan Number: A Proposed Works: Crown reduction by up to 4 metres to reduce overhang toward neighbouring properties and to improve balance and light penetration. Selective removal of damaged and broken branches, particularly those overhanging boundary lines. General crown clean to remove deadwood >25mm diameter and reduce risk of future branch failure. Reason for Works: Excessive shade and tree debris falling into neighbouring gardens, affecting residents' enjoyment and use of their outdoor space. Risk of injury from falling debris. Reported health impacts (e.g. child with eczema affected by contaminated toys). Debris prevents neighbour from using washing lines or garden areas. Tree B - Common Oak (Quercus robur) TPO Reference: EL 40/32 Sketch Plan Number: B Proposed Works: Crown reduction by up to 6 metres to reduce end-weight of lateral limbs overhanging neighbouring property. Selective pruning to remove hazardous broken branches and reduce structural stress on extended limbs. General crown clean to remove deadwood >25mm diameter. Reason for Works: Significant overhang and excessive weight on limbs growing towards neighbour's property. A large branch from this tree previously fell and crushed a metal shed; represents a repeat risk to safety and property. Shade and falling debris are a persistent nuisance to neighbours. Ongoing threat of injury, particularly to children playing in affected garden areas. Tree C - Common Oak (Quercus robur) TPO Reference: EL 40/32 Sketch Plan Number: C Proposed Works: Crown reduction by up to 6 metres to reduce canopy encroachment into neighbouring garden. Removal of any broken, hanging, or compromised branches to prevent potential failure. General crown clean to remove deadwood >25mm diameter. Reason for Works: Risk of branch failure causing injury or damage, particularly duri

    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.
