Description

Tree Preservation Order EL:186 - The tree is a Sycamore with TPO number T53 on a badge on it's trunk . On our Tree TPO report from Elmbridge ( circa 1984 ) T53 is stated to be a Holly so we suspect that the badge has been moved over the years and that this sycamore is not actually TPO'd . Nevertheless we wish to move with caution hence this application . We wish to entirely remove this tree as it is in poor health but more importantly it is growing aggressively into the space occupied by a beautiful specimen Poplar tree which we wish to allow to grown. The tree in question is also close to one of our 150 year old Sequoia and we are trying to ensure this area is in prime condition for all specimen trees to flourish. Data via plota.co.uk
