Planning application

Summer House Winterbourne Grove Weybridge Surrey KT13 0PP

Refused Elmbridge 2025/0320 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

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.

    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.
