6 Loom Lane Radlett Hertfordshire WD7 8AD
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.
