Crown thin the only tree on property - 20% .A sycamore with TPO. Note same application for works that have previously approved & carried out in 2014 under ref 14/0645/TPO Note the tree has large branches which overhang the adjacent public carpark and our neighbouring property 37 High St. Our neighbours have complained that branches have fallen in high winds. It is our opinion that the tree is a hazard to users of said carpark.. Previous applications to fell the tree have been declined, hence our application to continue to thin

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.
