Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Brooklands Conservation Area - x 3 Poplar trees - as you look at the accompanying photo labelled - 'Tree Identification' Tree nearest to the building, that is leaning and the biggest out of the 3, is T1. The tree nearest to the bin, bench and footpath, is T2. The tree that is set back behind T2, is T3. Further to these trees suffering snap outs and dropping large limbs, hitting the gas substation building and streetlamps, particularly as is a commercial site, in a high traffic area, backs onto pond/lake, where employees walk particularly during break/lunchtimes at this time of year. The area is well used as employee recreational area, with a bench/seating area all of which pose significant health & safety risks. RSL have therefore been requested and propose to: Remove T1 down to ground level stump. Pollard T2 & T3 - cutting back to good growth points to ensure the trees can continue to thrive and flourish but in a more manageable way, without the overextended and brittle branches/limbs reducing the chances of further snap outs and can continue to be used as habitat on health and safety grounds.

2026/1983 Granted
20 Albany Close Esher Surrey KT10 9JR
Tree Preservation Order EL:89/15 - T1 - Oak - reduce overall by 3m and raise canopy up to 5m by removing secondary branches to leave a finished height of 15m and a finished spread of 9m. The Oak has developed into a large tree for its present location within a relatively confined rear residential garden, with the crown extending in close proximity to the boundary with the neighbouring property. The proposed works are intended to manage the tree's overall size and crown dimensions in relation to its setting, while retaining its contribution to the local amenity. The proposed work will maintain the tree at a more appropriate scale for its location and will provide greater clearance from the neighbouring property and improve the relationship between the tree and the surrounding residential garden environment. The works are intended as a proportionate management measure rather than removal of the tree, allowing the oak to be retained while reducing its current size and encroachment within a confined residential setting.
