127 Kings Chase East Molesey Surrey KT8 9DH
Tree Preservation Order EL:99/08 - Following the recent collapse of a major branch of the Horse Chestnut in my front garden, reported to you under case no. CS719312178, my tree surgeon does not consider it dangerous or that further collapse is imminent. He has advised that the tree should ideally be reduced in overall height by 4m - 5m and the crown lifted. He will clear the damage away during week beginning 2nd June and check the tree's health whilst doing this. However, the tree needs to be trimmed overall as it is encroaching on my property and causing damp to my property. This work was last carried out in 2016 with your approval. I will attach sketches as requested. The plan of Kings Chase shows the tree as T30 (I think).

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.
