Willow Lodge 2 Oaklands View Welwyn AL6 0RJ
2 diseased sweet chestnut trees to be removed TPO 879 (2022) T20 and TPO203 T20 Trees are exhibiting significant longitudinal splitting along the main stem, with exposed wood and compromised structural integrity. The defects are indicative of advanced structural failure and present a foreseeable risk of partial or complete stem failure, particularly given the tree’s proximity to an actively used garden and children’s play area
