Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - Persian Ironwood at front of house (position shown on sketch map) Shown as tree A. Remove and grind stump. Tree is inappropriate to the conservation area and not native to the British Isles. Replace with Walnut Tree 15 to 20cm girth approx 2m height . This is a better match for other adjacent trees ( oak , beech) and grow well in the local conditions (several in the rear of 10 Arnison Road) This tree would also replace the Walnut partially uprooted and subsequently felled after storm damage late 80's and which gave the name of Walnut Tree House to 12 Arnison Road.

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.

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.
