Planning application

76 Norfolk Road Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 1LA

Granted Three Rivers 22/1448/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

I am seeking to have the tree removed and as much as possible the stump and roots removed to make the area safe. The tree is taking up most of the back garden. The roots are visible and substantial across the garden and are a health hazard for me trying to move around and reach the garden behind the tree. The tree runs across each side of my neighbours garden. The branches snap easily which infers the tree is not in a health state It is also bringing excessive shading across my own and the neighbours gardens. The gardens are small and narrow and the tree is not suitable for the size and width gardens in this road.
