Proposal
MODIFIED SPECIFICATION SEE CONDITION 2 Report received from tree surgeon (Banstead Tree Works) states:-Maple tree looking out from kitchen window: (No TPO) lift crown 3-4 small diameter branches hanging over garden and alley way, reduce side lower branch 1-1.5 m. Thin the canopy of the tree from more light penetration to property, enhance air circulation and less wind resistance for safety of falling branches as area of garden that is used by adults and children. Norway Maple (no 5) and Sycamore (no 6) over garage: reduce weight on stem going over garage and prune back. Remove any dead wood. We are extremely concerned with damage to garage and office cabin from falling branches. Reduce and prune back branches (1-1.5 m) going onto the roof, also reducing weight by thinning from the end of the stem. Maintaining the health of the tree and provide assurance to reduce risk of branches falling onto the garage and office cabin's roofs. This part of garden is also used by children and adults. This tree is also blocking neighbours solar panel, so thinning will increase light penetration. We are also seeking approval to thin by 30% the following trees: G1 (Sycamore and Norway Maple) ,H2 x2 (Cherry Laurel), Ash (no 4), Sycamore (no, 7), Sycamore (no 8) and Sycamore (no 9).

4 Maplehurst Close Burgh Heath Surrey KT20 5FU
86% historically approved · decision due ~16 Sep
T1: Beech (rear garden, left tree) - Reduce overall canopy by 2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. The aim of the reduction is to minimise the chance of failure and to keep the tree maintained at a reasonable size before a more drastic reduction may be needed in the future. There is a poor V-shaped union between two co-dominant stems, which the reduction will reduce tip weight and minimise sail. The reduction will also aim to maintain a natural looking tree, pruning to appropriate growth points. T2: Lime (rear garden, right tree) - Reduce height of canopy by 3m and laterals reduce by 2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. Epicormic growth to be removed from the main stem. The aim of the reduction is to keep the tree managed and to reduce the risk of failure. The tree has been lifted to 60% of its height, canopy starting at 11m. The reduction will lessen the sail, whilst keeping the tree maintained at reasonable points before a more drastic reduction is required in the future. The reduction will also aim to create a more visually appealing shape, whilst maintaining a natural looking tree. All major deadwood of 25mm in diameter or larger to be removed from both trees.

21 Old Oak Avenue Chipstead Surrey CR5 3PG
T1- Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). Selective pruning of the lateral crown to reduce over extended limbs by 1.5-2m (Predominately on the east and west sides to rebalance), reduce other limbs where necessary to appropriate growth points with the goal of reducing weight load and rebalancing the crown. Remove deadwood over 40mm diameter and 50cm length. Reduce or remove large dead limb on west side of tree at 3m height. Supply and installation of 3x non-invasive 8tn Cobra bracing between three co-dominant stems, to reduce movement between branch unions and mitigate likelihood of structural failure. Use of a mobile elevated working platform (cherry picker) will be utilised to ensure we prune to the appropriate points, for tree health and aesthetics.

Land Adjacent To 150 Fleetwood Close Tadworth Surrey KT20 5PG
Trees 1 and 2 (adjacent 150) prune back from their dwelling/garage by circa 3m and remove deadwood. The branches of both trees are extending across the curtilage of 150 Fleetwood Close. Some are in close proximity to the dwelling. Early pruning work, as requested, will enable the tree crown to be managed without recourse to substantial pruning cuts. Early intervention is therefore considered to be best practice in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations. Tree 3 reduce height to circa 6m above ground level. The tree is in decline and presents no regenerative growth from lower on the branches or stem structure. If regenerative growth had been present it would have been feasible to specify pruning works to suitable growth points. Given the state of decline and absence of suitable pruning points it is considered prudent to remove the major branches but retain the lower stem for its ecological value. Works can be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations.
