Planning application
57 Deacons Hill Road Elstree Borehamwood Hertfordshire WD6 3HZ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
As you look to the back of the garden, there are two sloping trees - the one on the left is an Oak tree and the one on the right is an Ash tree. We DO NOT want to remove the trees but trim off the crown by 30% to reduce the weight at the top and prevent them from falling down in high winds and/or over time. Oak (T1) crown reduction by 4m to leave the height of about 15m above the ground total spread of about 7m to provide significant clearance to the property and allow more sunlight. Ash (T2) full crown reduction by 4m to leave the height of 15m above ground and a total spread of about 6m significant clearance to the property and allow more light to come through.

26/1548/TPO Awaiting decision
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)
