Planning application

Spinney west of Baytrees Caenshill Road Weybridge

Granted Elmbridge 2025/0960 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL:05/28 - Trees (T753 and T754) located immediately to the west of the property known as Baytrees, Caenshill Road - Remove trees. Both trees are tall specimens which have low main unions. Both trees have been subject to works to remove stems, however this has left the remaining stems with high and unbalanced crowns which means they pose an abnormal risk of failure. The removal of trees T753 and T754 was previously approved by Elmbridge Borough in October 2020 under planning reference 2020/188, however the works were never fully implemented.

    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.
