Tree Preservation Order WAL:8/73 - T5 Cedar - Fell and treat stump with eco plugs T6 Cedar - Fell and treat stump with eco plugs Excerpts from "Health and Safety TPO Statement of Reasons T5 T6 Cedar" and "Subsidence TPO Statement of Reasons T5 T6 Cedar" copied below, please see uploaded documents for full text. We believe the mature Cedar trees (T5 and T6) at the above address are a significant health and safety risk to the homeowner and neighbours, to such an extent that they now require removal. Multiple branches have failed in the past and some much more recently, suggesting this tree is stressed and other branches are likely to fail in the near future. Large branches have penetrated through the roof of one of the houses nearby and the homeowner is very concerned about children playing in the garden underneath the trees. The main stems are very close to the buildings and therefore in a precarious position should any of the trees be windthrown or if more limbs fail due to high winds, which have been demonstrably severe in recent months. - These trees have suffered multiple storm failures and have large sections of deadwood within the crown.- Phone lines are running underneath the lateral branches and are in danger of being damaged by failing limbs or deadwood. Furthermore, local residents who may work from home or similar would be severely affected by loss of services should the tree damage the phone lines. Repair of the phone lines will put an unnecessary strain on the public purse and should be reasonably avoided if possible. - The houses are within 5m of the main stem of these trees. If more limbs should fail as they have in the past, the risk of injury or even perhaps loss of life is great. Not to mention the costly repairs that would be needed to the properties affected. The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works at the insured property. The above tree works are propose

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

8 Midway Walton-On-Thames Surrey KT12 3HY
Tree Preservation Order EL:93/13 - T1 - Oak - Reduce the lateral canopy extending over the property by approximately 3 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points in order to retain a balanced and natural crown form. Current dimensions: Height 15m, crown spread 15m. Reason for works: A significant defect has been identified within the principal lateral limb extending over the property. The limb, which has an approximate diameter of 35cm, contains a cavity extending approximately 20cm into the wood, representing more than half of the limb's diameter. The location and extent of this defect raise concerns regarding the long-term structural integrity of the branch. The tree has previously been subject to more extensive pruning on the neighbouring side but has not been correspondingly reduced within the applicant's property boundary. This has resulted in an unbalanced crown with a greater proportion of the canopy and associated loading concentrated over the property. The proposed reduction is intended to lessen the end weight and wind loading on the affected limb, thereby reducing the risk of branch failure while retaining the tree's overall health, amenity value and natural appearance. The works represent a proportionate arboricultural management approach that will help ensure the continued safe retention of this mature Oak within the landscape. T2 - Oak (please see the attached tree report) Crown Spread: North 6.5m, East 6m, South 5m, West 10.5m Condition: Upright tree with a pronounced south-western canopy bias and excessive end weight on elongated lateral growth. Normal vigour and crown vitality observed. Recently exposed following the failure and removal of an adjacent Silver Birch to the north. A children's play area is located directly beneath the canopy. Defects: Historic pruning wound at 4.5m on the north-eastern stem is occluding with no visible decay. Two woodpecker cavities are present at approximately 6m and 6.5m, extending internally by around 60cm and 3
