Planning application
47 Taylors Court Oaklands Avenue Oxhey Hall Watford Hertfordshire WD19 4LN
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T7 Red horse chestnut to reduce lateral growth by approximately 1.5m. The tree has spread laterally over the years with some larger limbs protruding. With the new development next door there is also a fair amount overhanging the boundary line. The aim would be to reduce the tree to create a more compact balance crown that doesn't impeed on the neighbours property as much whilst providing more light to the front of No.47

26/1210/TCA Granted
47 Taylors Court Oaklands Avenue Oxhey Hall Watford Hertfordshire WD19 4LN
Tree identification: One mature broadleaf tree located within the boundary of 47 Taylors Court (private flats), with the trunk and primary root system situated on the neighbour?s property side of the boundary fence. I believe the tree to be a fast-growing ornamental or estate tree species, though I am not certain of the exact species. Works proposed: The tree has grown significantly beyond the boundary line and is overhanging into my property at 45 Oaklands Avenue. The proposed works are to: Prune back all overhanging branches to the boundary line, or to suitable secondary growth points where necessary Remove branches in direct contact with the roof structure to prevent ongoing damage Restore clear separation between the tree canopy and the property boundary All works will be carried out in accordance with good arboriculture practice and will not extend beyond the boundary line.
