Planning application

Farthingale Station Approach Chorleywood Hertfordshire WD3 5NE

Granted Three Rivers 22/1348/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

T1 - Cypress - Dismantle and remove - Tree was planted in a small raised bed area / had a small raised bed area created around it, with brickwork walls on all four sides. This will have damaged / impeded the root system for the tree. The root system is now extending extensively under the block work drive way and around the drain cover. This is causing areas of drive way to lift, including around drain cover. This damage coupled with the likely weakened root plate of the tree, means there is a risk it could fail. The tree is adjacent to a busy road and pavement (Station Approach) and within striking distance of the metropolitan railway line, so the homeowner would like to remove for these reasons described. Please see photos attached of issues raised
