24 The Close Radlett Hertfordshire WD7 8HA

Awaiting decision Hertsmere 26/1167/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1 - Mulberry Tree: This tree is growing to the south with the canopy extending over the garden area of 25 The Close by 4.5 m with an overall canopy spread to this aspect of approximately 6.5 m. The tree is causing a nuisance to 25 The Close as it prevents proper use of the garden area. This is through the physical presence of the canopy and dropped fruit which is making a footpath slippery and unsafe to use and staining the footpath surface. To help alleviate the nuisance it is proposed to reduce the canopy by 2.0-2.5 m by undertaking the following tree works to the southern aspect. Remove: - 1 x 25 mm diameter stem - 1 x 30 mm diameter stem - 1 x 40 mm diameter stem - 1 x 50 mm diameter stem - 1 x 175 mm diameter stem. This will leave a canopy spread to the southern aspect of approximately 4.0-4.5 m and 2.0-2.5 m over the garden area of 25 The Close. The footpath would then be outside the canopy spread of the tree. All works would be undertaken to BS 3998:2010 `Tree Work: Recommendations'. The tree would be left with a natural and flowing form.

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.

    2 Grace Avenue Shenley Radlett Hertfordshire WD7 9DN

    (T4)Conifer tree, to remove a limb picture attached. (T3)Yew Tree Crown reduction by 1.5-2m - we will be reducing the tree from 12m to 11m in height and 11m to 9.5m in width. Yew tree to remove all dead diseased or crossing branches 2 inches in diameter or larger. The reasons for the works is that the tree is very large and needs to have a crown reduction as it is causing the grass surrounding it to be heavily shaded and causing locking of sunlight to the mansion house. The tenants do not want it removed for various reasons, just slightly reduced.
