Planning application
St Cecilia Nottingham Road Heronsgate Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5DP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1: Large Beech (Fagus sylvatica) located in the front garden leaning heavily towards the property. Fell to ground level and poison by way of Eco Plugs to inhibit regrowth. This is a large tree in close vicinity and is leaning towards the property. To avoid possible failure in the future especially with any high winds, it would be better to remove the tree. T2: Dead Holly (Llex aquifolium) located in the hedgerow next to T1 - Fell to ground level and poison by way of Eco Plugs to inhibit regrowth. T3: Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) located on the westside front boundary Remove the two lowest laterals to the southside of the canopy, giving clearance from BT wires.

Farfield Nottingham Road Heronsgate Hertfordshire WD3 5DP
Opposite the above address is the horse field and stables. In the field there are 30 (T1-T30) sycamore trees which are poisonous to horses and in the past the owners have had one die as a result from eating the seeds. for this reason they moved the horses to a neighbouring field which they rented but the owner is no longer willing to rent it to them so they need to go back to using their own field. These are self set sycamore trees that have been left to grow massively out of control for the last 30-40 years, the plan is to pollard each tree at around 5ft to allow them to still grow but not high enough so they blow the seeds all across the field. Also there is a mix of ash and sycamore (G1) as a hedge that hasn't been reduced for some years. This will be cut back to previous cuts to around 5-6ft.

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.
