Planning application
15 Hill Rise Rickmansworth WD3 7NY
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Sycamore tree (T1) 16/0796/TPO - fell because of rotting and included bark. Replant with one native oak tree, one blue spruce and fruit trees. The tree has a cavity at the base which is full of worms and vermicast. The depth of the cavity is in excess of 30cm (12inches) photo included. When I consulted a tree surgeons with regard to management of the tree they recommended felling due to the depth of the cavity and also included bark on the two main boughs. Underneath the tree there are outbuildings in both gardens in Hill Rise and Shepherds Way. There is potential for costly damage if boughs were to fall.

196 Abbots Road Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0BP
TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
