Planning application
35 Kindersley Way Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0DG
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1: Silver Birch (Betula pendula) located on the righthand boundary of the rear garden ? End weight reduction to lowest lateral on the northwest side of the canopy to prevent branches blowing around as much in high wind. Remove any rubbing/crossing branches and thin canopy by 10-15% and remove any major deadwood over 40mm. Lift lower canopy where needed to approximate height of 4-5m from patio level in rear garden.

Mimosa Acacia DealbataTree - rear garden - has grown to a level that it is in within a metre of the house. So within a metre of touching the property. Tree needs to be pollard. Tree height is approx 16 metres and we would like to cut back the branches by 4 metres so does not start touching property. Tree would still be 10 metres after cutting the branches.

We request permission to cut down a Cherry Plum tree subject to Tree Preservation Order: Ref: T364, TPO760: Abbots Road, Abbots Langley. We would like to remove the tree and plant a replacement tree. We have taken advice from Tree Surgeon Mr Shew of SS Tree Specialist Hertfordshire (07732 822 938) and he has advised that: - The tree is dead and diseased in places. - Some of the roots are exposed and diseased. - The tree is inflicted with honeycomb fungus. - The tree is likely to come down in the wind as it is diseased and has shallow roots. - The tree branches are touching the overhanging telephone wires. The tree has been diseased and inflicted with honeycomb fungus since we moved into the property over four years ago. We tried to revive the tree when we moved in, including by stripping away the ivy which had grown all over it, but the tree has worsened and has almost stopped bearing fruit. We are concerned that the tree may fall which means there is a risk of injury and/or property damage, particularly if the tree roots are wrapped around utility pipes. We are happy to purchase a replacement five foot Cherry Plum ( Prunus cerasifera Nigra) and plant in the same, or in an adjacent location. We attach photographs of the tree, in particular showing the branches touching the overhead telephone wires and the diseased and exposed roots and trunk.
