Planning application

Royal Holloway University Of London, Arboretum Egham Hill Egham Surrey TW20 0EX

Granted Runnymede RU.25/1127 Trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T2 - Quercus robur - phased reduction (high halo) of this tree to open light to the lower crown of T1 which is a veteran. We would look to reduce the height of T2 by 2.5-3 meters, indicated by the red line. This is to help the senescence of T1 in its ancient stages. T3 - Quercus robur - phased reduction of this oak by 3 to 4 metres to increase light to the lower canopy of T1 and improve canopy space for T4 - Acer sp. - reduce crown by 2 to 3 metres . This Acer has started loosing branches, and is in declining condition. It has a thinning crown, weaker unions that may fail and a several cavities from historic tear outs. The tree is to be used for educational purposes

    71 A Harpesford Avenue Virginia Water Surrey GU25 4RG

    T1 - Oak at front - fell - tree has Acute Oak Decline (AOD) The tree is in advanced decline, almost dead, due AOD evidenced by weeping exudates on the main stem and progressive and advanced canopy dieback monitored over 5+ years. Structural integrity and vitality are now significantly compromised. Given its proximity to the dwelling and highway (high target occupancy), retention presents an unacceptable foreseeable risk of failure and liability under duty of care obligations. Felling is therefore justified on arboricultural safety grounds.
