Proposal
Claygate Foley Estate Conservation Area - T1 - Pine tree situated in back garden. Tree has a height of approximately 15 metres and spread of approximately 4.5 metres. The tree was planted by the homeowner and has since grown rapidly in a position which is very close to the property. Proposed works are to remove the tree due to its close proximity to the house. It has also been noted in a recent insurance survey as likely to be a future problem. T2 - mature Lime tree to side of property on boundary with Fitzalan Road. Tree has a height of approximately 16 metres and spread of approximately 10 metres. Proposed works are to reduce height and spread by approximately 1.5-2 metres, to allow light into garden and property and reduce end weight, leaving tree with a height of approximately 14 metres and spread of approximately 7 metres.

2026/1983 Granted
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.
