Planning application

22/0754/TPO

20 Edinburgh Drive Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0TU

Granted Three Rivers Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Proposal

T1: Lime . Re-pollard to historic wounds for the purpose of good management and more light into rear garden. The amount the Lime tree is being reduced by is approx 2-3m all over. We will also remove all growth that has occurred since the tree was pollarded last time ( not by us). This will leave the scaffold of the tree to regenerate I have supplied an annotated photo within the application to make this easier for you to see. The scaffold of the tree comprises of the thicker stems and what I am proposing to to is to remove all of the finer shoots.

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    The Sycamore tree in the bottom right of our garden is diseased. The tree is now leaning, some of the roots have mushroom-like growth on them and the surrounding ground has subsided. I reached out to the local tree officer (Julie) under inquiry number TR420745521, discussed the issue and it was agreed to apply for works to remove the tree and replant with a suitable replacement. This application is for that work to be approved.
