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.

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.
