  Meadowside Bridle Lane Loudwater WD3 4JQ

  T1 Approximately 12 years ago we purchased what we thought was a small bush-like tree, which we now believe is called a false acacia 'Frisia' for a small space between the drive, pathway and hedge (see photograph). This tree is now the size of the house and has damaged the driveway (see photograph). Its roots, marked in red on the plan, are abutting the house and running across and down the driveway. There is evidence that more damage to the driveway is likely as the outline of further potential root damage can be seen (see photograph). During the summer suckers or shoots from the roots appeared in the drive and next to the front wall of the house. We would like to remove this tree as there is not much point in repairing the driveway whilst the tree remains in situ. Any replanting will be in the form of a small bush given the location and as originally intended. The site has an abundance of trees on it. The other marked on the location map are as follows: T2 - Field Maple T3 - Rowan Ash T4 - Cherry Trees to the rear of the house have not been shown.
