The Chestnuts, Gomshall Lane, Shere, Guildford, GU5 9HE
Sweet chestnut tree: Thin out by 20% and cut some lower branches and dead wood to reduce density. Low lateral limbs overhanging property to be shortened by 2 metres to reduce risk of falling. Remove epicormic growth to crown break. Maintain crown of tree. Reasons: Tree canopy now overhangs the house - can be dangerous in high winds. Overhang also causes severe moss growth on roof. This moss inhibits natural flow of rainwater off roof and gutters which constantly need clearing. Chestnuts cause damage to tiles on roof when falling (Shere Conservation Area).
