Granted Hertsmere 26/0195/TPO Tree Preservation Order Works (8 Week)

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T22 CEDAR. Crown imbalance over neighbours gardens, with over extended lateral limbs. Reduce lateral limbs over neighbours gardens by up to 2-2.5m, to leave limbs at least 4m long, to reduce weight and wind loading, and chance of significant failures over domestic properties. Reduce height of tree by 1-2m to give a new height of 12m to balance canopy. T20 CEDAR. Tree has suffered several limb failures, and currently has one lodged in the main canopy. Current height 18m. Reduce height by up to 2.5 - 3m, to give a new height of 15m. Slight crown imbalance over neighbours gardens, with over extended lateral limbs. Reduce lateral limbs over neighbours gardens by up to 2-2.5m, giving a lateral length to retained limbs of at least 4m to reduce weight and wind loading, and chance of significant failures over domestic properties. Overall aim to maintain tree at a reasonable size for location with high targets under both sides, whilst reducing chance of future failures T15 CYPRESS - Reduce limb growing towards building by 1- 1.5m, to give 2m of clearance from building, and a retained branch length of 2m. T6 and T7 2no. FALSE ACACIA. Remove. Both trees have significant decay and damage to main stems in first 2m of stem. Have been heavily reduced in the past, have a heavily weighted canopy / crown imbalance over neighbours car park, and extensive deadwood in canopies - remove and replant to prevent failure over a very busy carpark and office area
