16 Westholm Letchworth Garden City Hertfordshire SG6 4JB

Awaiting decision North Hertfordshire 26/02586/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Reduce the crowns of one Goat Willow and three Apple trees by up to 1 metre in height and lateral spread, maintaining a natural, balanced shape. The proposed works are to manage the overall size and spread of the trees, control excessive growth, encourage healthy development and maintain their natural appearance and amenity value.
