Planning application

St Lawrence Church Hall, Church Lane, Wormley, Hertfordshire, EN10 6LB

Decided Broxbourne 07/24/0889/TW Works to Trees

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

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).
