    Tree Preservation Order EL:309 - T1 Beech (TPO EL:309 T49) Proposed Works Description: Crown reduction by up to 2 metres, with an overall average reduction of approximately 1.5 metres, carried out selectively throughout the crown to maintain the tree at or close to its current dimensions. Reason for Works: The proposed selective crown reduction is intended to help maintain the tree at or close to its current dimensions while preserving its natural form and structural balance. Due to the trees proximity to the adjacent property, the works are proposed to manage future growth and prevent the tree from becoming disproportionately large in relation to its surroundings. The works will help maintain an aesthetically balanced crown and manage future growth in a controlled manner, while having only a very limited impact on the health, vitality, and amenity value of the tree. All work to be carried out within guidance of BS3998:2010 with a maximum diameter pruning wound of 40mm T2 Common lime (TPO EL:309 T45) Proposed Works Description: Crown reduction by up to 2 metres, with an overall average reduction of approximately 1.5 metres, carried out selectively throughout the crown to maintain the tree at or close to its current dimensions.

    Tree Preservation Order EL:309 - T2 and T1 Conifers and Oak Reduction and Clearance from Garage Roof Works: Reduce lateral growth from the Conifers and Oak by two to three metres, targeting only secondary branches. Finished clearance above the garage roof to be a minimum of two metres vertical clearance and one metre horizontal clearance from the structure. Finished lateral spread to be approximately three metres from the boundary wall (visually judged against existing crown width). All cuts made back to appropriate growth points to maintain a balanced, natural outline. Justification Works required to prevent contact with the garage roof, reduce debris accumulation, and maintain adequate clearance for property protection. T3 Oak (Driveway Overhang) ??? Crown Reduction, Crown Lift to 5.5m Works: Reduce lateral branches extending over the driveway by two to three metres, leaving a finished lateral spread of approximately six to seven metres from stem (depending on existing canopy).

    34 Clive Road Esher Surrey KT10 8PS

    Esher Conservation Area - T1 Leyland Cypress (Rear Garden) Fell to ground level. Reason for Works: The tree is situated in very close proximity to the adjacent outbuilding. As the tree has matured, the stem has increased to a diameter at breast height (DBH) of approximately 40 cm and is now in direct contact with the structure, causing abrasion and damage to the building. Due to the ongoing increase in stem diameter, further structural damage is considered likely if the tree is retained. The proposed removal is therefore necessary to prevent additional damage while maintaining the safety and integrity of the adjacent structure. T2 Lawson Cypress (Rear Garden) Remove one large declining lateral limb and carry out a crown clean to remove all deadwood throughout the canopy. Reason for Works: A substantial lateral limb is in decline, exhibiting extensive dieback and a significant reduction in live foliage. The removal of this limb is proposed to reduce the risk of branch failure and improve the tree's overall condition. In addition, deadwood will be removed throughout the crown to eliminate potential hazards, improve canopy health, and form part of routine arboricultural management.
