Planning application
rear of 9/10 Fairwater Drive, Byflee Addlestone KT15 3LP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Oak - remove This tree has been declining over recent years and is now at the point where it needs to be removed before it becomes a safety issue as it is located adjacent to residential properties and the towpath is directly underneath it. As can be seen from the attached photograph the crown is very thin, has extensive deadwood and it is clear that the tree is not recoverable.

RU.26/0576 Granted
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.
