Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree Preeservation Order EL:146 - Tree Species: Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) Height: 24m Trunk Diameter: 1052mm Canopy Spread: NE6m SE4m SW6m NW8m Crown Hight: 9m Mature Tree in poor condition but fair structural condition. Number used in the sketch plan T2 (which matches the tree survey must is not readily identifiable on the TPO). The tree survey identifies T2 as requiring removal on safety grounds. T2 is considered to be U category due its poor physiological and structural condition. The survey identifies poor vitality demonstrated by significant dieback and excessive deadwood. Significant areas of necrotic bark on the southern buttressing and upper root. Significantly decayed upper root at 400mm from main stem connected to 125mm opening with decay and small cavity on south-western buttress. Bark wounds on western buttress. Wound with decay on north-western buttress. Proposed works are to fell tree to ground level. Given the proximity of the T1 to T2, we request that no replacement tree be required. T1 and T2 compete given their proximity and T1 is already leaning toward the neighbouring property (number 48 NE boundary). As you will see from the tree survey, the condition of the remaining 3 trees at the property is category C and they are large trees for the space available.

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.

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.
