  Tree Preservation Order EL:05/11 - T1 - Spruce tree. This tree stands at approximately 25m tall and is approximately 6m from the building. To fell the tree because it has outgrown its current position and it is clear it has large lateral roots because it is lifting the decking. This tree is continuing to grow (approximately 40m at maturity) and the roots will be growing too close to the Grade II listed building. There is also a health and safety issue with the tree because it is shedding cones on a regular basis onto the decking where people are eating. We would like to replant a native decorative tree which would be maintained and not grow to the height of this tree and therefore not encroach onto the listed building.

  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.
