The Cottage Trout Rise Loudwater WD3 4JS

Refused Three Rivers 21/1096/TPO Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T1 - Douglas fur - Approximately 4-5m height - Fell to ground level - Customer wishes to fell the tree as it causes issues regarding light. It is also growing into the adjacent beech tree which will only cause damage to both trees in the future. The tree's canopy is also one sided with a lean directly towards their phone line. Replanting not suitable due to positioning of large beech tree above it. G1 - x2 Red Western Cedar - Approximately 10m height - Fell to ground level - Both customer and neighbour are complaining about lighting issues. There has been issues regarding branches dropping into the neighbours side onto his cars as well. From the stem closest to the house (the cottage) there is a codominant stem approximately 7/8 meters up with the potential to tear out. Replanting to take place later down the line. T2 - Oak - Approximately 10m height - crown reduce upto 1m all over to suitable growth - Customer enjoys the tree however would still like some more light into the rear garden. Removal of major deadwood and general climbing inspection as well.

    Ash T1 and Ash T2 per sketch map are self seeded trees. Both have grown up through the hedge with crooked trunks and are leaning into the garden. They are now encroaching on the existing whitebeam in the garden and the holly in the neighbour's garden. I would like to remove both these trees. Field maple T3- trunk in neighbour's garden but growing over my fence. The tree is engulfed in ivy which needs severing and the crown is messy and top heavy. I would like to reduce the overhanging growth on my side of the fence by 2m and reduce the height by 2m to make it a more stable structure. Also I will remove all the dead wood within it. Holly T4 - messy and top heavy as a result of ivy infestation from neighbour's side. Once ivy cleared, I would like crown tidied up to make stable. I would like the height of the holly reduced by 2m to make it less top heavy and the overhanging growth on my side of the fence reduced by 2m. Both T3 and T4 are old hedging plants which have been allowed to overgrow

    24/1333/TPO Submitted 20 Aug 2024 50 yards away

    This is a supplementary application to application 24/1279/TPO which is currently under consideration by TRDC. In that application we have requested that T12 (Oak tree in neighbouring garden of The Cottage, Trout Rise) is permitted to have dead wood removed. We are now requesting additional permission as follows: "Oak tree overhanging from neighbours property (The Cottage, Trout Rise), cut back overhang by 2 metres." T12 currently overhangs our boundary line by 7.5 metres. We are requesting to reduce the crown by only 2 metres of overhang. We have lived at St Cyrus for over 18 years and the overhang of this tree has never been reduced, consequently the crown has now grown to a size where it is growing over our house. Hence the request to reduce the crown overhang by 2 metres back toward the boundary line, which would still leave a considerable overhang.
