9 Warren Road Ickenham

1. 1.The tree is situated in the front garden of 9 Warren Road. The mature oak appears to be in a good condition and can be viewed from neighbouring properties and from Warren Road. The trees stature and position ensure the amenity value of the tree is moderate to high. The tree has a potential to live many years and contributes to the arboreal nature of the area. This application has been refused as there is no valid arboricultural reason for the trees removal. No evidence has been provided to back up the claims of subsidence, and removal of a mature oak due to dropped leaves and acorns is not defensible. The applicant mentioned that branches have fallen from the tree, but no arboricultural report has been provided that could suggest this is due to declining health or inherent health concerns. If the applicant is concerned with the safety of the tree, we recommend seeking advice from an Arboricultural Consultant that will be able to provide a tree health and safety report. Please note that deadwood may be removed under exemption. Having regard to the reasons given for the proposed work, the work is unjustified and will have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity and arboreal character of the area.
2. 2.The removal of deadwood, dangerous / hanging branches and ivy: This does not require the formal consent of the Council.
3. 3.Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981: Note that it is an offence under this act to disturb roosting bats, nesting birds or any other protected species. Therefore, if applicable, it is advisable to consult your tree surgeon / consultant to agree an acceptable time for carrying out the approved works.
4. 4.Owner(s)'s permission: Permission should be sought from the owner(s) of the tree(s) and / or the owner(s) of the land that the tree(s) overhang prior to any approved work being carried out.
5. 5.Expected standard of tree work: The approved works must be carried out in accordance with the conditions laid out above. If they are not, then enforcement action could being taken which could lead to prosecution and heavy fines. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the works are only carried out by a professional and competent arboriculturist who undertakes to comply with the conditions of this consent and in accordance with industry best practice (BS 3998:2010). The Arboricultural Association can provide details of its approved contractors, who have demonstrated such professionalism and Council can provide a list of contractors who are known to carry out tree work to a good standard and to normally maintain an appropriate policy of indemnity insurance.
