Planning application

66 Hare Lane Claygate Esher Surrey KT10 0QU

Granted Elmbridge 2026/0696 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL:98/20 - T1-Oak tree- Crown reduce by 3m back to previous pruning areas. Current height 12m, will be left at 9m. Current width 11m, will be left at 8m. This tree is very large for the small back garden. It drops leaves & acorns into the garden, onto the roof & residents below. The tree also has OPM present which is a huge inconvenience to the property owners as they are afraid to venture into the garden. Branches have been breaking out and there is a lot of dead wood present & falling onto the neighbouring road as well as into the garden. The tree has a large cavity 2 meters up the main stem from a branch snapping out in the past. Ideally the home owner would like this tree removed & replaced with a more suitable tree. Removal of all dead wood.

    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.
