1 Heatherbank Close Cobham Surrey KT11 2LT

Granted Elmbridge 2025/0105 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order - T1 - Oak - cut back branches by 2m on east side of the tree overhanging garden to leave a finished spread of 10m. The tree excessively overhangs the garden of this property causing heavy shading. The proposed reduction will reduce the weight from branch ends reducing the risk of limb failure and creating a sunnier aspect for this family garden. This level of pruning will comply with the recommendations of BS3998 and will not detract from the natural form and aesthetics of the tree.

    20 Albany Close Esher Surrey KT10 9JR

    Tree Preservation Order EL:89/15 - T1 - Oak - reduce overall by 3m and raise canopy up to 5m by removing secondary branches to leave a finished height of 15m and a finished spread of 9m. The Oak has developed into a large tree for its present location within a relatively confined rear residential garden, with the crown extending in close proximity to the boundary with the neighbouring property. The proposed works are intended to manage the tree's overall size and crown dimensions in relation to its setting, while retaining its contribution to the local amenity. The proposed work will maintain the tree at a more appropriate scale for its location and will provide greater clearance from the neighbouring property and improve the relationship between the tree and the surrounding residential garden environment. The works are intended as a proportionate management measure rather than removal of the tree, allowing the oak to be retained while reducing its current size and encroachment within a confined residential setting.
