Planning application

Land At Rear Of Woodlands,Dell House And Banstead Down Old Chorleywood Road Rickmansworth Hertfordshire

Refused Three Rivers 23/1780/TPO Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

To identify the tree of concern I have attached a Tree Survey File. On the drawing the tree is seen on the border of plot 2 and plot 3 labelled "Leylandii". Since the survey was completed the land has been sold for development and the resultant plots are slightly different resulting in the tree being on the very border of plot 2. I am the owner of plot 2. I will also include a few pictures of the tree. The tree is very large and over bearing. I would like to replace the tree with a number of smaller trees distributed around the plot. Design to be established by a landscape professional should approval be possible for the removal of the large tree,
