  EL:02/25 - G1 - group of 3 Cypress trees growing on front verge of Hitherwood, Sandy Drive. Trees have a height of approximately 20m and spread east to west of approximately 14 metres, and north to south approximately 16 metres. Proposed works are to reduce height by approximately 4-5 metres, spread over road and towards property by approximately 1-2 metres and remove selected low branches to lift crown to a height of approximately 5 metres, leaving trees with a height of approximately 15 metres, spread east to west of approximately 13 metres and north to south approximately 14 metres. These works are being carried out to give clearance from property and entrance road, reduce end weight to prevent future failures, allow light into property and to match works that have already been approved for similar group of Cypress trees in neighbouring property.

  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.
