Split decision Elmbridge 2026/0834 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

EL:24/04 & EL:227 - Oak tree at entrance- Raise the lower canopy over the footpath & road by 5.2m as legally required. T2- Oak tree by white sign- Remove all deadwood from this tree to ensure safety of road users. This tree has had the deadwood removed before but is in decline & dying back further. T3- Large Oak tree on the boundary- Crown reduce this by 2.5m. Historic wound approx 8m up the main stem. Upon closer inspection at the base, I have discovered 4x areas of basal decay and evidence of a fungal fruiting body, indication of a disease of some kind. Too far decomposed to identify. Reduce on safety grounds. Current height 12.5m, resulting height 10m. T4- Oak tree over bin area- Reduce the 2x over extended limbs by 2 metres so not to be caught by high winds. This tree has fungal fruiting bodies at the base, unidentifiable at this stage. This tree was hit by lightening in February 2025 and has shown signs of die back since. T5- Robinia tree over garages- Reduce the entire crown by 1.5m to retain shape & discourage snapping out branches over the garage & making area below. Current height 7.5m, resulting height to be 6m. Reduce over extended branch over lawn by 3m to stop from breaking out in high winds and better shape the tree.. T6-Silver birch tree- Fell- This tree is in decline and rapidly dying. Positioned alongside a private but busy footpath, for safety reasons should be removed. T8-Horse chestnut on boundary- Reduce the height by 3m. The large younger back stem has a decay pocket at the base. This reduction will relieve the stress at this area. Current height 10m, resulting height 7m. T9-Conifer- Reduce the height down by 2.5m to previously pruned area to remove dying top & to reshape the tree. Current height 6m, resulting height 3.5m. T10- Conifer by entrance- Remove this dying tree. This tree is close to the entrance and a potential hazard if it were to collapse. T11- Sweet chestnut- Trim back from street light to give a clearance of 3m. T12- Horse chestn

    Land Side of Portsmouth Road Portsmouth Road Cobham KT11 2NH

    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.
