25 Cedars Avenue Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 7AW
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Willow Trees T1 and T2 - Reduce two Willow trees in back garden by pollarding 40 - 60% of the larger regrowth from the most recent pollard points, and then thinning and reducing the remaining smaller regrowth to leave a feathered canopy, rather than a full pollard

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.
