Proposal
EL:197 - T1 - Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) located at Lakeside Grange, Weybridge (as shown on submitted plan). Proposed works comprise minimal, targeted arboricultural management to support the tree's long-term health, structural integrity and safe retention, in accordance with the recommendations of the Dryad Arboricultural assessment (Cedar of Lebanon). Works to include: Crown clean to remove all dead, dying and diseased wood (diameter >25mm), including detached, hanging or weakened branches, to reduce risk of failure and improve overall canopy condition Selective, light crown thinning (approximately 10-15% of secondary growth only), undertaken evenly throughout the crown to reduce end weight on extended lateral limbs, improve light penetration and airflow, and reduce sail effect without altering overall canopy density or structure Minor structural pruning to reduce loading on specific limbs identified within the Dryad assessment, including selective shortening of tertiary branches and sub-laterals where necessary to rebalance weight distribution and reduce leverage on unions All works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998 (Tree Work Recommendations), using appropriate pruning cuts and techniques to avoid unnecessary stress and to maintain the physiological health and natural form of the tree. No removal of primary scaffold limbs is proposed. No topping, lopping or excessive crown reduction will be undertaken. There will be no material alteration to the overall size, height or natural shape of the tree. The extent of pruning will be limited strictly to that recommended within the Dryad assessment and confined to secondary and tertiary growth only, ensuring a proportionate, retention-led approach consistent with current arboricultural best practice. Works are intended to address identified structural considerations while preserving the tree as a mature specimen of high amenity value. All works to be undertaken by a suitably qualified arborist.

The the last reduction was done in 2011 and the tree has grown significantly since then.

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.
