  20 Downalong Bushey Heath Bushey Hertfordshire WD23 1HZ

  6/2010 tree T12 The horse chestnut tree is located between the rear gardens of 18 and 20 Downalong. The proposed works are to reduce the crown by approximately 2m in height and 2m in overall spread, pruning back to previous reduction points. Reduce the tree height from its current 25m to around 23m by reducing the length of the regrowth on the truncated branch ends by around 2m. This will entail making cuts into material of around 50 mm - 70mm diameter. The lateral regrowth should be similarly reduced by approximately the same amount making cuts no larger than the previously specified diameters. Following this work the tree will extend about 4m into the garden areas of numbers 20 and 18 Downalong and a similar amount into the gardens of the properties behind in Stevens Green. Lift the tree canopy by pruning trunk epicormic shoots back to their point of origin up to no more than 4m above ground level. In addition, any deadwood present throughout the crown will be removed as part of routine tree maintenance.

  St Giles Church Blanche Lane South Mimms Potters Bar Hertfordshire EN6 3PE

  A1: x3 large ash tree in the grounds of the church yard, the three trees are at the rear gardens of 85 and 89 Blanche lane. The trees are approximately 70 ft high, there is no plan to reduce the height of the trees they would like the lateral overhanging branches reduced by approximetley 2-3 meters in length cut back to suitable growth points, still leaving a good 2-3 meters of the lateral branches in place. Due to the trees location within the churchyard it would be far easier to view them from numbers 89 and 85 Blanche Lane because of the dense undergrowth (number 85 has a side access to the left of the property for access)
