Planning application

South Approach Woodland Opposite 20 South Approach Moor Park Hertfordshire

Granted Three Rivers 26/0534/TPO Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

South Approach Woodlands T1947 Ash- It is recommended that the crown is reduced by approximately 6 m in height and 3 m in radial branch length, to reduce loading and increase the amount of shelter provided by surrounding trees, to reduce the potential for stem failure and retain the tree and the habitat it currently provides. A reduction of 6 m in height will prevent the tree from being able to reach the railway fence line if it were to fail, providing a balanced approach to risk management and habitat retention
