Planning application

15 Claremont Road Claygate Esher Surrey KT10 0PL

Granted Elmbridge 2025/0773 Tree Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Claygate Foley Estate Conservation Area - Eucalyptus tree. The proposal is to completely remove the tree located in position 1 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 2) Its branches are interfering with an adjacent magnolia tree, which we are keen to allow space to continue to develop. Its growth and shallow roots (as shown in Doc 3) are removing disproportionate water from the ground with potential damage to a nearby pear tree which is c. 100 years old. The tree is not indigenous to the country / area. We have plans to plant new more appropriate trees in our garden which will more than offset the loss to the environment from the removal of this single tree. We have never observed a single nest in the tree or any other form of wildlife. (Its branches move too fluidly making it unstable for nests). Conifer / leylandii hedges. The proposal is to completely remove these high trees / hedges located in position 2 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 4). These are old and are higher / wider than they need to be. They will be replaced by more suitable / less dense alternatives.

  • 2026/1836 Granted

    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.
