Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
1x Pine tree which is closest to the house to the right of the entrance gate we would like to be consider to have this tree removed to the stump as we are finding it hard to get insurance for our house as the tree is too close to the house and bending towards the property with minimal growth which looks to be dead/dying. Reduce height of 3x Pine trees by at least 3 feet off the top of the trunk remove any dead branches to reduce weight.

Located within the front garden of Woodlands Yewlands Hoddesdon Hertfordshire EN11 8BX
Tree numbers as identified on plan T1 Pine - Fell - remove as the crown has little growth and provides little amenity value. It is also growing over the top of another smaller but healthier Pine which is now being restricted by the T1 Pine. There are also plans to extend the driveway for easier entrance, the new driveway will be extended over where the tree is currently situated. T2 - Fell - Pine is the smallest of the 5 and is growing directly into the crown of T3 and T4. It is also close to the garage and driveway so it makes sense to remove this one to prevent any congested growth and limit the damage to lawn and surrounding buildings. T3/T4/T5 - Reduce crowns by 1m, deadwood and lift to 6m

Back garden of Woodlands Yewlands Hoddesdon Hertfordshire EN11 8BX
The wooded area has not been maintained in a long time and is substantially overgrown and has a fair amount of unhealthy or dead trees. T1 - Unidentified species - Fell - Tree is dead T2 - London Plane - Fell - Tree has been badly pruned before and has very abnormal growth, once the area has been thinned this tree will be very unsightly. We would have suggested pollarding but the previous pollard points will still leave the tree looking very unsightly. T3 - Holly - There are many hollies in the woodland, we would like to remove this one as it is leaning significantly and has less amenity value then the rest. T4/T5/T6/T7- Conifers - Fell - We would like to fell these as they hold little amenity value to the area T8/T9/T10 - Sycamores - Fell - all 3 trees have very substantial rot at the base T11 - Multi stem holly - Fell - we would like to remove all 3 hollies as part of the thinning and tidying of the area. These are 3 of the least mature hollies in the area T12 - Conifer -... read more

T1 Oak - We would like to reduce the crown by 2-3 metres back to previous pruning points. The tree was last reduced approximately 5 years ago. This tree is on the river bank, adjacent to the location of a London Plane tree that failed last year. The resident is therefore concerned for the Oak tree and would like to reduce the weight of the crown to reduce the risk of any failure.
