Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Weston Green Conservation Area - 2 X Ash Trees and 1 X Fir Tree Ash Numbered as #1 and #2 on the plan. Fir Numbered as #3. All tree's to be felled due to proximity to residence and infestation of Ivy growth leading to dangerous condition. The tree's do not have individual protection orders in place but are located within the rear gardens of two properties in a conservation area. One of the properties is vacant and the tree's are unsafe, causing concern to the residents at the rear of the gardens. The other is as the rear of an occupied property although has now grown to a hight that overhangs the property at the rear and is a concern, some evidence of ground movement and subsidence as well as risk of damage from falling limbs onto property. Removal of the Ash tree in the occupied property will allow for the growth of a more suitable, Hazel tree in the same place.

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.
