  ELM:40 - T1 Extra large Plane tree in rear garden. This Plane tree was previously reduced in July 2018, PP-06531312 . Client would like to repeat the same management as before, namely, reduction pruning of whole canopy by 1-2m to previous (2018) points using pruning methods and techniques commensurate with BS3998. Crown lift canopy over private gardens up to 3m from ground level, pruning the pendulous third order growth and above only. Crown lift canopy over garage buildings up to 3m from structures, pruning the pendulous third order growth and above only. Please see photos for additional guidance on what pruning is proposed. Final height to be no less than 20m, width no less than 14m. Reason: Our intention is to retain a good aesthetic shape, true to form where possible, as has been done previously. Still growing vigorously, without regular size management this tree will dominate the garden and adversely affect the amount of light getting to the rear of the property. There is no doubt this tree is exceptional in its location and a visual asset to the local community. A request to repeat reduction pruning 8 years after it has previously been done is not unreasonable.

  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.

  Tree Preservation Order EL:94/18 - T1- Oak tree- The reduction of the entire tree by 3m to reduce the risk of over loaded branches breaking out in high winds. Branches have been breaking out from this tree and the homeowner worries that about ranch will eventually hit the house. Current height 18m, resulting height will be 15m. Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. Removal of all dead and dangerous branches. T2- Beech tree- Fell- Removal of this tree down to ground level to ease the congestion in the area and allow light through to the area below.

T3- Large Oak tree- Reduce the entire crown of this tree by up to 3 metres. This tree is far too large being so close to the neighbours building and drops lots of debris into the gardens below making the children's play area unusable at times.

Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. T4- Sweet chestnut tree- This tree creates a lot of debris through out the year and creates a lot of shade over the lawn and plants.
