2 High Pine Close Weybridge Surrey KT13 9EA

Refused Elmbridge 2024/3291 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order: EL:08/12 - T1- Beech - Beech tree located at the front of the property at '2 High Pines Close, Weybridge'.The tree is approximately 16m tall with an 8m spread on the North and East section of the tree. A spread of approximately 5-6m on the South and West side. A reduction of 6m in height. A 3m reduction in spread all round to alleviate a large portion of weight and sail in the tree. Leaving the tree at a final height of 10m with a spread of around 5m N & E side. A final spread of 3-4m S & W side. Crown lift up to 6m as larger vehicles hit these branches overhanging the road.The tree has a Large bracket of Ganoderma fungus at the base, with closer inspection this could be seen less as an objective of amenity but more of an exercise of safety and conservation for the time being. The tree will at some point have to be felled due to the Ganoderma given its close proximity of multiple properties and walkways and highways. Amenity should be less of a concern over safety however the 6m will still be above previous pruning points and therefore likely to still have a good balanced shape.The main concern of the work submitted is to reduce a bulk of weight and wind sail out of the tree to prevent the likelihood of the tree failing giving its proximity to buildings cars and pedestrian walkways.

    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.
