Refused Welwyn Hatfield 6/2023/0276/TPO WORKS TO TREES WITH TREE PRESERVATION ORDER

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Reduce Oaks shown on the plan as Oak (1), Oak (2) on TPO 638. (G1) by 30%. Oak (1) is large and in close proximity to the house so needs to be managed accordingly. This will provide further light for the garden below and help reduce the risk of the tree falling during high winds. Reduce oak shown on the plan as Oak (3) on TPO 638 T5 by 30%. Oak (3) is large and in close proximity to the house and needs to be managed accordingly. This will provide further lights and help reduce the risk of the tree falling during high winds.
