Planning application

141 The Drive Rickmansworth WD3 4DJ

Granted Three Rivers 20/1907/DDD Dead, diseased or dangerous

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Beech - The tree is extremely close to the property, knowing that Fagus trees are predominantly shallow rooted and that the tree has a high canopy acting like a sail, there are worries that one day its possible the tree could uproot and damage the house. The tree has also been recently exposed to fire damage, although minor with no immediate threat, we request to fell this tree to make things safer in the future for the resident.
