  1 Uplands Croxley Green Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4RD

  Beech (T8) - Whole crown reduction by 4 metres in order to reduce the risk of limb failure and improve the overall structural balance and form of the tree. This is in line with the approval of a reduction in height for the same amount for beech (T5) which is a very similar tree and next to T8 (LCS/26/0564/TPO). Beech (T11) - Reduce overhanging branches growing towards the house in order to provide 2 metres of clearance. This will reduce the risk of limb failure especially as these overhang a residential garden that is used by a young family. This was previously granted in LCS/18/1899/TPO, but the application has lapsed.

  Identification of Trees: All identified trees are contained in the attached tree condition report and labelled T1 to T13. All of these trees, apart from T1, T12 and T13, are covered under TPO016 and ownership therefore differs: T1 is located on the pavement of Uplands and the ownership and responsibility lies with Hertfordshire County Council. T2 to T10 lie within the boundary of 1 Uplands and therefore ownership is with the homeowner. T11?s location is difficult to determine whether it lies within the boundary line of 1 Uplands or whether it is located on Copthorne Road. To note, Copthorne Road is not covered by TPO016 and is a private road owned by the residents. T12 and T13 are located on Chess Vale Rise which is also a private road owned by the residents and not covered by TPO016. Description of Works: Please note that a detailed description of the works is provided in the attached document named 'Tree Report' due to the character limit within this section. However, below is a brief overview of the works being requested in line with the tree condition report supplied by Abbots Arborcultural Advice that is attached: 1.
