Contino Whisper Wood Loudwater Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4JU

Refused Three Rivers 22/0272/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- Reduce uneven crown of Oak by 4-6m. Remove major deadwood (>50mm). Significantly unbalanced crown due to removal of adjacent infected tree and a suitable reduction will correct this and improve health, stability and aesthetics. T2/3 - Reduce neighbours Beech on boundary line (x2) by 2-3m and remove major deadwood and squirrel damaged limbs. Both trees have large codominant stems with included union and a reduction would reduce weight of the crown and wind sail effect. Significant squirrel damage in upper crown T4 - Reduce overlong lateral limbs of Oak over garden building and remove major deadwood T5 - Fell Ash in decline to ground level. Evidence of dieback and majority of tree with deadwood T6 - Reduce Oak by 3-5m to balance crown overhanging neighbours house and remove major deadwood. Large Southern limb over house to reduce lateral weight and reduction to overall crown to bring in line as required T7 - Oak - Remove major deadwood and damaged limbs. Shorten overlong limbs by upto 2m T8 - Oak - Remove major deadwood and damaged limbs. Shorten overlong limbs by upto 2m G1 - Remove damaged limbs from group of small Oak/Cherry and crownclean
