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.

2 Love Lane Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0QAThree Rivers

T2 - Horse Chestnut to reduce by 1.5m. We reduced this tree 5-6 years ago due to poor condition. The proposed reduction will reduce weight on the new growth that has now been produced. If left long term the weak unions could start to fail. This is over a road, close to a park so has a high footfall and is over a clients driveway and neighbouring out building so has a high risk of failure was to occur. Current height is around 12-15m
