Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
EL:269 - T1 - Silver Maple Reasons for application: This tree is a focal point of the road entrance and the owners would like to ensure good onward form and improve its shape. The tree has become a little messy and when in leaf is quite a dense entity. There are a few heavy limbs/forks that in my opinion could do with lightening and bringing back into shape for precautionary and aesthetic measures. Reduction cuts of approx 3m to remove selected protruding branches to create a smaller canopy. The tree is also starting to encroach onto the roads/pathways Selectively reduce crown by approximately 2m - 3m back to sustainable growth points while keeping trees natural form. I have annotated certain cuts where I could to give you a good impression of what we are trying to achieve. Final height to be approximately 12-13m Crown lift tips to a height of approximately 4.5m - 5m to ensure adequate clearance from road and pathway. No major limbs to be removed.

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.
