Planning application

Villa Desire Dragon Lane Weybridge Surrey KT13 0NG

Granted Elmbridge 2026/1465 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:265 - T1- Weeping Beech tree (fagus sylvatica 'pendula'), located in the rear of the property in a South Westerly direction. The tree has recently lost a very large limb which landed in the neighbouring property and caused damage to the garden. The client is keen to have the tree reduced to minimise any further risk of this happening again, as now the crown is also quite unbalanced, with the majority of the tree hanging over the neighbouring property where the limb fell. The tree is currently approximately 18.5m high and 14m wide and the client would like a reduction of 2/3m. The tree will be approximately 18.5m high following the proposed work and approximately 13m wide following the proposed works, there is not much difference due to the nature of the weeping limbs.

    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.
