Planning application

Cranbrook 31 South Road Chorleywood Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5AS

Granted Three Rivers 23/0316/TCA Works to trees in a conservation area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 - Dismantle and remove Maple in decking area, tree is very close to the rear of the property, and continued reductions to maintain at a reasonable size have reduced the aesthetics of the trees. Previous historic landscaping has also resulted in some of the main stem being below surrounding ground level, which is having a negative impact on the health of the tree

    The tree we propose to remove is T1 on the attached plan (Cupressus arizonica). It was assessed as only being in fair Physiological condition in the aboricultural survey conducted in 2019. Since then it has suffered significant damage from storms / frosts from which it will not recover and we propose to remove it before the damaged branches fall and cause damage to either our property / people on our property or to the church hall / pre school which in adjoins.

    196 Abbots Road Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0BP

    TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
