25 Palace Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9DJ
East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - We would like to remove the Yew tree completely as identified in the attached sketches. We wish to remove for these reasons 1) Safety - very close to both 25 and 25A Palace Road buildings. Concern of falling branches into kitchen ceiling window adjacent to tree. Concern of toxicity of tree to young children living at 25 Palace Road. 2) Damage to Property - roots close to foundations of 25 and 25A, already creating damage to decking area of 25A - photo evidence supplied. 3) Creates significant shade to both properties, both 25 and 25A owners would like increased sunlight This tree is not visible from front of property or provide any coverage for other properties to offer amenity value. We would like to plant a new tree in alternative location within garden that is safe for children and pets to make up for loss of this yew. We propose a Fig tree midway down our garden away from all properties. Photos attached showing tree from rear of 25 Palace Road and decking damage at 25A. All owners of 25 and 25A Palace Road would like tree to be removed. A tree surgeon has been consulted and advised this would be possible including removal of trunk and roots.
