Lantern House Dog Kennel Lane Chorleywood Hertfordshire WD3 5EE
T1 - Horse Chestnut (approx 17/20 metres high) - Front drive of Lantern House T1 has a large cavity approximately 8 metres from ground level, just below the crown break due to a previous limb drop. Cavity was noticed due to recent hornets nest. From inspection the cavity is sizeable and the wound doesn't appear to be sealing fully, leaving the tree prone to disease and decay. Tree is also in close proximity to the road and surrounding houses which makes this a higher risk if it were to fail. Recommended removal of the tree to ground level with replanting to take place.
