    There is a single tall fir tree at the back of the grounds of 4 The Beeches and in the stormy weather, it moves to such an extent that we feel that it is dangerous and might fall and damage our property (8 South Cottage Drive) or the other surrounding properties. We have spoken with Nick, the owner of number 4 The Beeches and he is in agreement and happy for the tree to be removed or, maybe more likely, lopped right back to avoid any damage to properties.

    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.
