The tree is approx 15m in height with approx 9 metre crown spread. The tree has been maintained as a high pollard. Proposed works will reduce the crown back to previous reduction points to continue maintenance. This was last done in 2014.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.
