2 Gordon Road Claygate Esher Surrey KT10 0PQ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree Preservation Order - ELM:01 - T1 - Cedar tree in back garden. Proposed works are to selectively reduce crown by approximately 1-1.5 metres. The tree has a height of approximately 20 metres and spread of approximately 11 metres, 5-6 metres radial from main trunk. These works will not affect height of tree as the works will be carried out on lateral branches and spread will be reduced selectively through crown to approximately 9-10 metres. These works are being carried out to reduce overlong laterals to prevent future failures and give clearance from neighbouring property.

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.
