Planning application

Hillside Overstream Rickmansworth WD3 4LD

Granted Three Rivers 21/0913/TCA Works to trees in a conservation area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

G1 - x 3 conifers customer has had concerns regarding the over hang into the neighbours property. Customer will also be building an out house nearby and is concerned about potential damage to the roots. I have recommended the removal of the first 3 stems out of the group. This will provide approximately 6 to 7 metre clearance from the trees being retained which will prevent damage to the root system. The residents still wish to retain the remaining conifers and will also be replanting laurels once the building is complete.

    The tree is the only tree in the front of the property. Standing on Overstream facing the house the tree is situated on the left hand boundary roughly 3m back from the road. I believe it is a form of plum tree It has very recently developed a significant tilt away from our neighbour and onto our property. I am concerned that in the event of a storm or windy weather from the west that it will fall completely causing significant damage. The risk will increase as the leaf coverage increases and therefore I feel this needs to be addressed as soon as possible Much to my regret I think the tree will need to be removed completely. The tree will be replaced with something the same or similar
