    T1 - Oak tree in rear garden. Work required: 30% Crown Thinning and 30% Crown Reduction. Crown Reduction by 2 meters. Work is now required to bring the tree back to shape. The height of the tree will remain untouched, however the spread of the tree to return back to 7 meters after pruning. The tree was last pruned June 2017 under application number 16/1360/TPO. The tree is T349 Married Quarters, Carpenders Park No 1 97. Since last pruned, the crown all round the tree has grown in volume restricting light coming through and the branches have spread into our neighbours garden at both 63 and 65 Highfield. Work would be required to reduce the outer parts of the crown to give it a balanced shape and size, and thinning to reduce the amount of dense foliage.

    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.
