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.

Tree Preservation Order - EL:197 - T1 Lime Current height 27m Current width 12m - Reduce Lime tree in height by 4 meters and back to previous pruning points. - Reduce lateral branches by 2 meters. An aerial inspection has been carried out to assess the health of the tree, at this time the Ivy on the stem has been removed and deadwood removed. No other concerns with the health of the tree. The the last reduction was done in 2011 and the tree has grown significantly since then. Our proposal is to reduce to previous pruning points by 4 meters in height and 2 meters on lateral branches in order to reduce the size of the tree and balance the crown.

Tree Preservation Order EL:89/15 - T1 - Oak - reduce overall by 3m and raise canopy up to 5m by removing secondary branches to leave a finished height of 15m and a finished spread of 9m. The Oak has developed into a large tree for its present location within a relatively confined rear residential garden, with the crown extending in close proximity to the boundary with the neighbouring property. The proposed works are intended to manage the tree's overall size and crown dimensions in relation to its setting, while retaining its contribution to the local amenity. The proposed work will maintain the tree at a more appropriate scale for its location and will provide greater clearance from the neighbouring property and improve the relationship between the tree and the surrounding residential garden environment. The works are intended as a proportionate management measure rather than removal of the tree, allowing the oak to be retained while reducing its current size and encroachment within a confined residential setting.

Little Heath House The Ridings Cobham Surrey KT11 2PU
Tree Preservation Order EL:94/18 - T1- Oak tree- The reduction of the entire tree by 3m to reduce the risk of over loaded branches breaking out in high winds. Branches have been breaking out from this tree and the homeowner worries that about ranch will eventually hit the house. Current height 18m, resulting height will be 15m. Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. Removal of all dead and dangerous branches. T2- Beech tree- Fell- Removal of this tree down to ground level to ease the congestion in the area and allow light through to the area below. Multiple wounds on this tree that haven't healed but have decayed. The upper canopy has been rubbing on neighbouring branches and has intertwined with both Oak trees creating extensive damage to the main stem in the upper canopy creating weak points on the tree. T3- Large Oak tree- Reduce the entire crown of this tree by up to 3 metres. This tree is far too large being so close to the neighbours building and drops lots of debris into the gardens below making the children's play area unusable at times. The tree casts an almighty shadow over the neighbours garden. This tree has a lot of dead wood within the canopy and also has OPM present. Current height 18m, remaining height 15m. Width currently 16m, resulting width 10m. T4- Sweet chestnut tree- This tree creates a lot of debris through out the year and creates a lot of shade over the lawn and plants. To re pollard this tree back to previous pruned areas retaining the lower limb which has the rope swing attached. Regrowth approximately 2.5m of new growth. T5- Sweet chestnut- This tree creates a lot of debris through out the year and creates a lot of shade over the lawn and plants. Reduce the height of this tree by 3 metres, remove all dead wood & all lower basal growth up to the height of 5m. Current height 12m, resulting height 9m.
