Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

TG1 Coniferous Tree Group (3 trees) Goal: Sectional dismantle: Group of 3 trees - using rigging equipment Reasons: The group of three conifers is located in very close proximity to the residential property, with the canopy directly overhanging the roofline and guttering, thereby creating an ongoing risk of physical damage from branch contact and movement during adverse weather conditions. The dense evergreen foliage is contributing to excessive shading of the building and surrounding area, likely promoting damp conditions and restricting natural light. The close proximity and direct canopy contact with the building may also facilitate access for climbing animals such as squirrels, increasing the potential for pest ingress at roof level. The trees are growing in close formation, resulting in suppressed and uneven growth characteristics, which can compromise structural integrity and increase the likelihood of failure. Furthermore, their position adjacent to the building raises concerns regarding potential root-related impacts on foundations and underground services. T2 Ash Stem Goal: Pollard back to previous pruned point Reasons: Part of cyclical maintenance to ensure the ongoing health and safety of 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.
