  2025/2691 Submitted 15 Oct 2025 50 yards away

  Tree Preservation Order ESH:52 - The tree is exhibiting signs of both physical and physiological decline. I consider it likely that both are connected by a fungal pathogen or pathogens which are actively degrading both the tree's biomechanical structure and its vascular network. This is evident in the area of decayed wood and dysfunction visible at the base of the tree and in the dieback and poor foliar coverage in the crown. In my opinion, it is likely that the degradation of the wood at the base of the tree is now compromising the tree's ability to withstand wind loading. There are no treatment or pruning options likely to result in tree recovery due to the extent of dieback and the size and maturity of the tree. The dieback, poor foliar coverage, and lack of epicormic growth demonstrates low vitality within the tree and suggests that there is little opportunity for recovery at this late stage. As such I do not consider pruning to be a viable option to allow safe retention of the tree. Recommendations Fell tree.

  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.
