39 Kindersley Way Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0DG

Decided Three Rivers 24/1286/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

We request permission to cut down a Cherry Plum tree subject to Tree Preservation Order: Ref: T364, TPO760: Abbots Road, Abbots Langley. We would like to remove the tree and plant a replacement tree. We have taken advice from Tree Surgeon Mr Shew of SS Tree Specialist Hertfordshire (07732 822 938) and he has advised that: - The tree is dead and diseased in places. - Some of the roots are exposed and diseased. - The tree is inflicted with honeycomb fungus. - The tree is likely to come down in the wind as it is diseased and has shallow roots. - The tree branches are touching the overhanging telephone wires. The tree has been diseased and inflicted with honeycomb fungus since we moved into the property over four years ago. We tried to revive the tree when we moved in, including by stripping away the ivy which had grown all over it, but the tree has worsened and has almost stopped bearing fruit. We are concerned that the tree may fall which means there is a risk of injury and/or property damage, particularly if the tree roots are wrapped around utility pipes. We are happy to purchase a replacement five foot Cherry Plum ( Prunus cerasifera Nigra) and plant in the same, or in an adjacent location. We attach photographs of the tree, in particular showing the branches touching the overhead telephone wires and the diseased and exposed roots and trunk.

    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.
