Planning application

47 Arbrook Lane Esher Surrey KT10 9EG

Granted Elmbridge 2026/1100 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:89/20 - Tree Cedar (Cedrus species) Proposed works:Carry out a sympathetic crown reduction by approximately 1.5 2 metres, reducing end weight throughout the canopy whilst retaining the trees natural shape and flowing branch structure. Selectively thin the previously pruned section extending toward the neighbouring property to reduce canopy density and improve light penetration and airflow. Remove any deadwood and lightly reshape the crown as part of ongoing maintenance. Reason for works:The tree is a large mature specimen situated in close proximity to neighbouring properties and surrounding structures. Previous pruning works to one side of the canopy have resulted in dense regrowth and increased canopy weight within this area. The proposed works are intended to reduce end weight on extended limbs, lessen loading over adjacent properties, improve light penetration and airflow within the crown, and maintain the tree at an appropriate size for its location whilst preserving the trees overall health, balance and amenity value.

    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.
