Tree Preservation Order EL:99/08 - Following the recent collapse of a major branch of the Horse Chestnut in my front garden, reported to you under case no. CS719312178, my tree surgeon does not consider it dangerous or that further collapse is imminent. He has advised that the tree should ideally be reduced in overall height by 4m - 5m and the crown lifted. He will clear the damage away during week beginning 2nd June and check the tree's health whilst doing this. However, the tree needs to be trimmed overall as it is encroaching on my property and causing damp to my property. This work was last carried out in 2016 with your approval. I will attach sketches as requested. The plan of Kings Chase shows the tree as T30 (I think).

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.
