Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T6 (as per TPO plan) English Oak - tree is growing right next to the property and is growing out over the roof causing issues with squirrels jumping onto the roof and causing damage. Reduce tree by 2-3m back to give a final height of around 18m and a final spread of around 15m back to previous pruning points, which will give good clearance from the building. Tree also has OPM present which will be removed prior to any works being carried out by Burnley's Tree Services Ltd. break apart and fall off. T20 (as per TPO Plan) - English oak - tree is growing down the left hand side of the building and has major deadwood in the crown area which is starting to break apart and fall off. Deadwood crown of tree. T21 and T22 Cherry (as per TPO plan) - both trees have died off probably due to the heats of the recent summers. Fell both trees.

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)
