  Downside Village Conservation Area - To remove a small oak tree on left side of drive, 10m away from the house, on the advice of a structural engineer who has been consulted about cracks to the outside wall of the house. This oak tree self-seeded about 20 years ago and has seriously outgrown its location, given its proximity to the house, and is now causing damage. An arborist has been consulted, and he recommends removal of the tree which can be done without difficulty inside our 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.
