Council planning record

East Molesey Old Village Conservation Area - T1 Lime (Tilia sp.) Proposal: Re-pollard to previous reduction points to maintain established pollard framework. Reason: Routine cyclical maintenance and to contain within appropriate proportions for location. Works: Reduce the crown back to existing pollard knuckles, removing approximately 2-3m of height and lateral growth, retaining furnishing growth where possible. T2 Leylandii (Neighbour's boundary) Proposal: Reduce height and trim back overhanging lateral growth. Reason: Encroachment over garden and excessive shading. Works: Reduce overall height and prune back lateral branches to within boundary, cutting to suitable growth points where applicable, maintaining a neat hedge line. T3 Leylandii (Rear garden) Proposal: Reduce height to match neighbouring Leylandii hedge. Reason: Improve uniformity, reduce visual dominance and future maintenance requirement. Works: Reduce height by approximately 2m from current height of 6m to around 4m, forming a level, uniform hedge top. T4 Sycamore (on site) Option A Re-pollard: Re-pollard to previous reduction points to continue established pollard management cycle. Option B Fell and stump grind: Fell to ground level and mechanically grind stump to approximately 35-40cm below existing soil level. Reason: Ongoing maintenance burden, excessive shading, and poor suitability for location. T5 Sycamore (Neighbour's tree at Matham Manor) Proposal: Prune back encroaching lateral branches to boundary line only. Reason: Remove overhang affecting property and ensure clearance while remaining within legal boundary. Works: Remove or reduce lateral branches back to suitable growth points.
