Planning application
161 Abbots Road Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0BN
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Removal of dead cherry tree T253 which overhangs neighbour's greenhouse (@ 163) and also is likely to demolish my own garden log cabin if the whole tree falls (given the direction of prevailing winds). Two fruiting cherry trees have already been planted nearby in the garden of 161, in Spring 2020, in anticipation (One Morello, one Nabella).

A large branch broke away from the central trunk of a large Cherry tree TPO T264 in high winds and was subsequently identified as diseased and rotten right through (see photo of fallen diseased branch). A tree surgeon has removed the broken branch and another small branch in the diseased section which was hanging over the garden and was potentially dangerous. The tree has now been made safe by a tree surgeon. We want to try to keep the Cherry tree, though it is very old but it is possible that other parts are also diseased. The tree surgeon recommends a crown reduction of between 2-3m to try to save it, if it is possible to do so. See photo of whole tree.
