Proposal
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.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Broxbourne for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.
