  5. Final Decision2026/1456

    Thames Ditton Conservation Area - T1 - Crab Apple - Remove Crab Apple to ground level. Current dimensions: Height 6m (20ft), crown spread 5.2m (17ft). Reason for works: The Crab Apple is growing in an unsuitable location within a relatively confined garden and has now outgrown the available space. The tree is becoming dominant within the garden, restricting light and competing with surrounding ornamental plants and trees. The rear boundary of the property adjoins a railway corridor containing a substantial belt of mature trees of mixed species. As a result of competition for light from these neighbouring trees, the Crab Apple has developed an asymmetric crown form and is increasingly growing inwards towards the garden. The removal of the Crab Apple will improve the growing conditions for the surrounding vegetation and allow for better management of the garden space. The loss of this individual tree is not considered to have a significant impact on the visual amenity of the area due to the extensive tree cover beyond the rear boundary, which includes a diverse range of mature species such as Ash, Walnut, Cherry and Honey Locust. The proposed works are therefore considered reasonable arboricultural management and will not adversely affect the character or appearance of the locality.

  22. Final Decision2026/1657

    Tree Preservation Order EL:11/29 - Proposed Works: Reduce the height of three mature Scots Pine trees (G6 on map) located within the front driveway area by approximately 3-4 metres, to suitable growth points and whilst retaining a balanced and natural shape in keeping with the species. Reason for Works: The trees are approximately 23 metres in height and are positioned in close proximity to the dwelling and garage structures. Due to their size, they are within falling distance of both the property and neighbouring properties. The proposed reduction works are intended to lower the overall sail area of the crowns, helping to reduce wind resistance during periods of severe weather and minimise the risk of branch or structural failure during storms. The works will also assist in maintaining the trees in a safe and balanced condition, improving their overall appearance and supporting their long-term health and longevity. In addition, the trees are located close to existing mains drainage infrastructure. As the trees continue to mature and increase in size, there is concern that further root development could potentially affect the drainage system. The proposed works therefore form part of a proactive management approach to reduce future risks to both the property and underground services while retaining the trees as important landscape features.
