Proposal

Cobham The Tilt Conservation Area - Per the tree locations and numbering in the sketch provided, a description of the tree and the work I wish to carry out is as follows: Tree 1: This tree has died, it is a non-native tropical/sub-tropical tree (I do not know the precise type) and did not survive the 2024/25 winter. It is now deteriorating rapidly; bark is peeling off and branches are falling. The intended work is to fell the tree and dig out the remaining stump. I intend to plant a Magnolia in the approximate location. Please note, this tree is owned by me. Tree 2: I do not know the type of tree. It is a large part of a tree from a neighbouring property (41 Tilt Road) that fell during a storm, smashing the fence at the bottom of my garden that now needs replacing. The remains of the tree (on the neighbouring property) has survived and will not be touched. I am looking to remove the fallen element of the tree that is on my property in order to allow me to replace my fence. Please note that the fallen tree is dangerous, it is also deteriorating and shifting as it does; if not removed it is possible that it will fall towards the boundary with 41 Tilt Road and smash the fence between the two properties leading to further remedial fencing work being required. Please note, as mentioned above, the tree is on a neighbouring property; it is not owned by me, i have provided the contact details for the owner in the next section (this applies to this tree only, it does not apply to tree 1).
