    T.4 Oak - 2-3m Holistic crown reduction providing 2m clearance from house, crown lift to 4m from ground level and deadwood. T.5 Maple - 20% Crown reshape, crown lift to 4m from ground level and deadwood. T.2 Scotts pine - Remove dead branches at lower levels. Reduce crown of tree which is competing with crown of adjacent Scotts Pine situated in adjoins property. T.1 Lawson Cypress - fell tree and replace with tree further away from rear of property. ( This application was granted consent on 14/10/2020 but never actioned within the timetable prescribed by the consent). The reasons for remove of the tree are: It is a foreign fast growing evergreen tree which is not typically subject to a TPO. The tree has grown rapidly over the last few years and now overpowers the garden. Due to its thick foliage it is blocking out the sun from the back garden of the house and stops most plants from growing in the garden. It is very close to the house and blocks out the light coming into the windows. As the tree continues to grow there is a strong possibility that it will cause damage to the structure of the house. There are two Scotts Pines and a Sycamore tree in the same rear garden. The Lawson Cypress has no real amenity value. Situated in the back garden it is not readily visible from Corkran Road so its removal will not damage the streetscape of the Road. The plot of 27 Corkran Road has a number of trees which provide much higher amenity value. These include: a mature oak tree, a mature Canadian Maple, 2 Scots Pines which is an old and attractive tree. The Lawson Cypress has no real amenity value. Situated in the back garden the Lawson Cypress is not readily visible from Corkran Road so its removal will not damage the streetscape of the Road.

    Scout Hut Stirling Walk Surbiton KT5 9HY

    The proposal is to replace approximately 8 m of damaged existing surface water drainage pipe within the grounds of Berrylands Scout Group. The pipe is on its existing alignment and conveys surface water towards an outfall to Surbiton Stream. Its failure restores no positive fall to the outfall, which contributes to recurring flooding of the site. The pipe is being relaid like-for-like to restore positive fall and function, and no change to the pipe?s capacity or the site?s impermeable area is proposed. Works within the Root Protection Area Part of the pipe lies within the Root Protection Area (RPA) of an Oak (T20) protected by a Tree Preservation Order (ref. RBK.04.87). No felling, pruning or other work to the tree is proposed. The works within the RPA will be carried out as follows, as shown on Tree Protection Plan 25015-WCS-XX-ZZ-DR-C-0004: Hand-dug or air-spade trial holes along the pipe route to establish the extent, depth and diameter of roots before installation. Excavation by hand to BS 5837:2012 (Section 7.2), retaining all roots over 25 mm diameter. No root over 25 mm will be cut without prior agreement from the arboriculturist. Mechanical excavation limited to breaking out the existing hard surface (approx. 100 mm depth), under the arboriculturist?s direct instruction. Protective Heras fencing (braced) and ground protection sheets for the duration of the works. Reinstatement of the existing hard surfacing like-for-like once the pipe is installed. All arisings removed from site and the site left as found. All works within the RPA, including trial holes, excavation, pipe installation and reinstatement of the hard surfacing, will be supervised on site by a qualified arboriculturist.
