4 Arundel Road Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0TP
T1 - Scots pine x 1 - reduce overlong lateral branches by around 1m, prune out broken and snagged second-order branches from the crown interior. As part of the works significant sized deadwood will be removed which is an exception under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) [England] Regulations 2012. Reasons: the tree is located in a small garden area which it has now outgrown. In conjunction with trees growing on open land behind it is now obstructing significant afternoon sunlight to the rear of the house and reducing light throughput to the ground below. The light restriction is now significant and preventing any other vegetation growth beneath the canopy spread and beyond.
