  38 Watling Street Radlett Hertfordshire WD7 7NN

  Fell one of the group of three (T1) - TG1 Lime trees situated at the right side of the building plot. The lime tree is located within the footprint and Root Protection Area (RPA) of the proposed development, resulting in significant and unacceptable encroachment under BS5837:2012. Construction activities would require excavation within the RPA, leading to substantial root loss and compromising the tree's health and structural stability. Its retention would also constrain foundation design due to the species water demand and potential subsidence risk on shrinkable soils. The tree's proximity to the building would create future conflicts, including shading, honeydew nuisance, and pressure for ongoing management. Additionally, construction works would pose a high risk of damage to both roots and canopy. As a result, long-term retention is not considered feasible or sustainable.

  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)
