Awaiting decision Three Rivers 26/1210/TCA Trees

Works: Trees Small domestic

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

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

Proposal

Tree identification: One mature broadleaf tree located within the boundary of 47 Taylors Court (private flats), with the trunk and primary root system situated on the neighbour?s property side of the boundary fence. I believe the tree to be a fast-growing ornamental or estate tree species, though I am not certain of the exact species. Works proposed: The tree has grown significantly beyond the boundary line and is overhanging into my property at 45 Oaklands Avenue. The proposed works are to: Prune back all overhanging branches to the boundary line, or to suitable secondary growth points where necessary Remove branches in direct contact with the roof structure to prevent ongoing damage Restore clear separation between the tree canopy and the property boundary All works will be carried out in accordance with good arboriculture practice and will not extend beyond the boundary line.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Three Rivers for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    T7 Red horse chestnut to reduce lateral growth by approximately 1.5m. The tree has spread laterally over the years with some larger limbs protruding. With the new development next door there is also a fair amount overhanging the boundary line. The aim would be to reduce the tree to create a more compact balance crown that doesn't impeed on the neighbours property as much whilst providing more light to the front of No.47
