Keepers Cottage Homefield Road Chorleywood Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5QJ
Fir tree is situated on the edge of our property on the right hand side as you look from the property. It has always been here. Problem is it has grown so much over the years, it seems quite top heavy and branches overhang the road. The tree is nearly as high as the telephone cables which serve the neighbouring property. It is situated just at the edge of our property by the fence adjoining our neighbours. You can see the roots coming through which is disturbing our driveway and neighbouring driveway. The roots are probably growing under the road too. We have bushes/shrubs right down to the tree.

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.
