St Lawrence Church Hall, Church Lane, Wormley, Hertfordshire, EN10 6LB
Proposal
Tree is a mature Sycamore situated in the SW corner of the St Laurence Church Room car park. The proposed work is minimal crown raising to give 3m clearance above ground level by the removal of a small number of small (less than 2 inch diameter) branches. The proposed work would remove far less than 15% of the live crown height and leave the crown at far more than two thirds of the total height of the tree (Arboricultural Association guidance). The reason for the work is to allow safe and sufficient access to and use of the car park. At present, the lower branches and foliage are obstructing part of the area and reducing light transmission. If unchecked, there will be a substantial loss of amenity (and damage to the tree from vehicles trying to manoeuvre under and through the very low canopy).

About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

30 Moxom Avenue, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 9RD
T1277 - Oak - Located adjacent to No 30 - Following a recent aerial inspection undertaken as part of the tree's annual monitoring programme due to its deteriorating crown condition, a significant longitudinal stem crack was identified (please see attached photographs). Owing to the severity of the defect and the tree's location adjacent to a residential property and within a car parking area, the potential consequences of failure present an unacceptable risk to public safety and property. We therefore propose to fell to crown break, retaining a 2m monolith to provide valuable standing deadwood habitat, and to plant a suitable replacement tree in an appropriate location.
