Planning application

37 Manor House Gardens Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0DH

Refused Three Rivers 22/0789/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

G119- we would like to clear the deadwood from the tree. We would like to cut back the furthest over hanging branch, the most left branch in the photos provided. The reason being we have a lot of fallen branches from this tree, which falls on the children's playground. If we can just cut back the branch that mainly overhangs the area it will make it safer for them. T492- we lost a limb from the main union of the tree, during the storms in February. We have had a tree surgeon and Julie, tree and landscape officer, from the council to see the tree (and G119). We would like to reduce the tree by max 30%, to make this safer. The concern for the safety of the tree has been made because the branch was from the main union. the reduction will mainly come from the height as we would like to keep as much width as possible, as the beautiful tree will look odd. The reduction will be about 5 metres (30% of the tree height).
