24 Fairacres Cobham Surrey KT11 2JW

Granted Elmbridge 2026/1706 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees Small 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:10/04 - T1 - Cedar - A large limb has fallen into the play area doing minor damage. Likely due to "summer branch drop". There is evidence in the crown of other historic limb failures + cedars naturally have a disposition to shed heavy limbs. Given the changing weather patterns it seems probable that hot springs/summers will produce conditions for branch drop more + more frequently. We proposed a an approx. 20% reduction in weight on all major libs by selective thinning, aiming to keep pruning cuts at a maximum diameter of 75mm, No reduction in overall height or diameter, with the objective of reducing probability of future failures.

    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.
