Planning application

5 Trevor Road Hitchin Hertfordshire SG4 9TA

Awaiting decision North Hertfordshire 26/02798/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

T1: Ash - Crown lift and shorten back to suitable growth points and to balance the canopy. T2: Cotoneaster - Shorten back the longer protruding limbs to relieve weight to prevent branch collaspe and slight reduction in height. T3: Holly - Remove regrowth in height to its original size and prune back branches to keep the shape. T4: Bay - Pruned to neaten and shape.

As published by the council, reference 26/02798/TCA
