11 Palace Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9DJ

Granted Elmbridge 2026/0254 Tree Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - TG1 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - 2 trees both the same location on map and work specification Two Sycamore trees (Acer pseudoplatanus) Proposed works (description) Crown reduction of both Sycamore trees by an average of approximately 1.5 metres, with over-extended limbs reduced by up to 2 metres. Works to be carried out evenly and selectively throughout the crowns to maintain their current overall size and to leave a natural, flowing, and aesthetically pleasing crown form. Maximum pruning wound diameter not to exceed 50mm. Reason for works The proposed crown reduction is intended to maintain the trees at or close to their current crown dimensions and to prevent further increase in size due to the trees being in very close proximity to the building at the rear of the property. The trees have been heavily reduced in the past, and continued cyclical crown management is considered appropriate to control regrowth, maintain structural balance, and reduce the need for more severe works in the future. All works will be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 - Tree Work Recommendations, with the aim of retaining the trees while having only a limited impact on their health, amenity value, and long-term condition.

    Tree Preservation Order EL:18/07 - T1 - Horse chestnut - Proposed Works: Crown lift over the roadside only to provide a minimum clearance of 5.2 metres above ground level. All pruning shall be limited to secondary branches where practicable and carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, with a maximum pruning wound diameter of 50mm. Reason for Proposed Works: Following a tree survey, it was identified that the crown over the carriageway has been subject to contact from larger vehicles in the past. The proposed crown lift will provide appropriate clearance for high-sided vehicles, reducing the likelihood of future vehicle strikes and preventing unnecessary damage to the tree, whilst retaining its long-term health and amenity value.
