Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree Preservation Order- ELM:48 - T1 - Red oak - Crown reduction in height and spread by up to 2 metres and crown lift 5 metres from ground level - reason for work: The Red Oak (T1) has been heavily reduced in the past, and the proposed crown reduction of up to 2 metres in height and spread is intended to remove excess stress weight from previous heavy pruning points, promoting a stronger and healthier crown structure while reducing the risk of branch or limb failure. The reduction will also help maintain an aesthetically pleasing and balanced crown. A crown lift to 5 metres from ground level is proposed to ensure adequate clearance over the roadside for vehicle access and safety. All works will be carried out in accordance with the recommendations and good practice set out in BS3998:2010 - Tree Work: Recommendations, with a maximum pruning wound diameter not exceeding 50mm.

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.
