Planning application

The Rest Shire Lane Chorleywood Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5NH

Granted Three Rivers 25/0990/TCA Works to trees in a conservation area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

There is a holly tree at front of house, very close to house front window within our property line. It is "untidy" and mishapen and reduces daylight into the front room and front bedroom as it is so close to the house. The reason for change is to "tidy up" the appearance and imporve daylight. The proposed works is to take away some of the very lowest branches and to tidy-up/re-shape the tree. The works will be extremely minor; less than 1m of crown lift - and less than 20% thinning of the 'crown'. "Tree #1" as marked on the submitted plan. It is not a protected tree but is in preservation area.

    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.
