Three Crofts Dawes Lane Sarratt Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 6BG

Decided Three Rivers 24/0249/TPO Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T3 Beech (Copper/Purple) - remove T3 Beech located in Three Crofts, Dawes Lane, Sarratt, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, WD3 6BG has been implicated as the cause of subsidence damage at the neighbouring property of The Firs, Dawes Lane. The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability. Estimated costs of repair to the building are ?40,000.00 if the influence of the tree(s) remain and ?4,000.00 if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Granting permission will limit these costs. In the event of a refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e). Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs + Alternative method of repairs = ?44,000.00 It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s). Note: Further monitoring results may be submitted if these become available during the course of this application.

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.
