6 Loom Lane Radlett Hertfordshire WD7 8AD
Proposal
30T Norway maple (possibly part of TPO group G7 and incorrectly identified as a sycamore. Covered by conservation area regardless of TPO). This tree is recommended for removal due to a large column of decay with visible Kretzschmaria deusta fungi from base of stem to stem bifurcation at 3m height. A sounding mallet test on the stem indicated extensive internal stem decay. The tree is located adjacent to a driveway and may be at risk of failure. Fell to ground level and grind stump. 32T Common yew (possibly part of TPO group G7 - exact location of trees on TPO plan is not clear. TPO is almost 30 years old so unlikely to have been a part of the original order as the tree is too young but I want to make sure if it is now covered. Also within conservation area) - fell to ground level and grind stump. This small tree (5m height, 100mm DBH, category C1) requires removal in order to facilitate the construction of a woodland walk footpath and adjacent bin store. 33T Common yew (possibly part of TPO group G7 - exact location of trees on TPO plan is not clear. TPO is almost 30 years old so unlikely to have been a part of the original order as the tree is too young but I want to make sure if it is now covered. Also within conservation area) - fell to ground level and grind stump. This small tree (5m height, 160mm DBH, category C1) requires removal in order to facilitate the construction of a woodland walk footpath and adjacent bin store. The 3No. trees that are proposed for removal are located within a densely wooded area which limits the possibility for replanting due to light competition from the overhanging canopy. The submitted landscaping proposal (ASD_AW_101) contains details of planting to include shade tolerant shrubs, perennials, ferns and grasses. Also included is an Arboricultural Method Statement (BS5837 - 6 Loom Lane 45934687_AMS01 - 17-06-26) and Tree Protection Plan (BS5837 - 6 Loom Lane 45934687_TPP01 - 11-06-26) which details how the retained trees will...

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Hertsmere 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.
