Proposal
Tree Preservation Order EL:03/34: Tree number/Species: T2 OAK Amenity: SIGNIFICANT Proposed works: T2 OAK Crown thin 20%. Removal deadwood and epicormic growth up to main crown break. Remove largest crossing limb leaving a stub of 1m, to remove at a later date. Crown lift to 4.5m above ground level and allow 2m clearance of phone lines, removing selected branches back to primary limbs (see annotated image) and pruning remaining tertiary branches. Dimensions are not required, images are suitable for the purpose of identifying pruning points, and there are no crown reduction works. Reason: To maintain the tree at a size suitable for the location and allow more light beneath the canopy. The tree can be re-visited in about 3 years' time to spec - light reduction works. Officer comments: T2 OAK is not exempt from application under section 14 of Town and Country Planning Regulations 2012. The work specification is considered to address initial reasons for work while maintaining a reasonable degree of public amenity with an acceptable impact on tree health.

2026/1983 Granted
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.
