Planning application

7 Cardiff Way Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0TT

Refused Three Rivers 25/0671/TPO Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

( TPO0285)T1 Lime reduce the tree 1m past the previous points based on risks to the safety of people and property due to wind. Not withstanding the condition of the tree, the possibility of it toppling down increases with time due to the detrimental effects of climate change on wind storm intensity and frequency. Please note that due to the direction of the winds this rather large tree would fall onto 7 Cardiff Way. In addition to this in 2022 a Soakaway was introduced to the neighbouring property where excavation took place very near to the Lime and this may have caused destabilising of the roots, making this tree weaker
