Awaiting decision Elmbridge 2026/1742 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL:01/12 - One mature tree located within the rear garden of 5 Marrowells, Weybridge, Surrey KT13 9RN (as identified on the attached sketch plan). Proposed Works: Remove all dead, dying, diseased, damaged, and hazardous branches throughout the crown. Undertake a crown reduction of approximately 20???25% to reduce the overall spread and weight of the canopy. Prune back branches encroaching over neighbouring properties to provide suitable clearance from boundaries. Remove any crossing or rubbing branches where appropriate. Carry out general crown maintenance to improve the tree's health, safety, and long-term management. Reason for Works: The tree has previously undergone limited maintenance, primarily involving the removal of dead branches. Since that time, additional branches have become dead or are showing signs of decline. The tree has become significantly overgrown, with branches extending into neighbouring gardens. There are concerns regarding the risk of falling deadwood, particularly as the garden is used by families and children. Previous branch failures have occurred, including incidents reported by neighbouring residents. The proposed works are intended to reduce the risk to people and property while retaining and appropriately managing the tree.

    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.
