Planning application

Land Adjoining Thistle Lodge Bedmond Road Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0QB

Granted Three Rivers 22/1463/TPO Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

TPO874 G3 (Land Adjoining Thistle Lodge, Bedmond Road, Abbots Langley) TI - 1 Ash, Crown reduction, remove overhanging branches that come onto our driveway. The significant front part of tree branches needs to be removed. approx 5m. These branches are severely wilting over where we park our cars and we are worried that in adverse weather they may fall. See picture 1 T2 - 1 Sycamore, removal. Multiple tree surgeons have advised us that the majority of the tree is dead and should be removed before it causes danger. They were both surprised this was not done previously when the property was developed as it has been left leaving us in a dangerous position. The tree stump will remain, so a new tree does not need to be planted, as it will pose a threat to the house. See picture 2

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.
