6 Gloucester Terrace St Georges Avenue Weybridge Surrey KT13 0BU

Granted Elmbridge 2026/1577 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees Domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL:13/15 - T1 - Beech - Crown reduce the tree by up to 2 metres in height and lateral spread, pruning back to suitable secondary growth points to retain a balanced, natural and flowing crown form. The objective of the proposed crown reduction is to reduce end weight and mechanical loading on the primary scaffold limbs. The recommendation follows a recent limb failure from the tree, which resulted in damage to the neighbouring property's roof and a parked vehicle. Due to the tree's position directly over the neighbouring dwelling, adjacent public footpath and roadside, reducing the overall sail area and end weight will help to lower the likelihood of future branch failures while retaining the tree's visual amenity and long-term health. Upon completion, the tree will retain a natural, balanced and flowing crown, consistent with the species' typical form. All pruning works shall be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010. Tree Work Recommendations, with maximum pruning wound diameters not exceeding 50mm, except where necessary to remove dead, damaged or defective branches.

    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.
