Tree Conservation Area

Description

East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - The tree is located on the right-hand side of the property and is dead, with a noticeable lean that raises concerns about its structural stability. Given its condition, there is a significant risk that it could fail and fall into either the neighbouring garden or our own property, potentially causing damage to property and posing a risk to the safety of those nearby. In the interests of public safety and to prevent potential damage, we are seeking permission to remove the dead tree. As it is no longer viable and its condition is likely to deteriorate further over time, its removal is considered the most appropriate course of action. Data via plota.co.uk
