Planning application

47 Taylors Court Oaklands Avenue Oxhey Hall Watford Hertfordshire WD19 4LN

Granted Three Rivers 23/1588/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

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

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.

    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.
