Planning application
Oakhill Long Lane Heronsgate Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5BT
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Holly - Remove to ground level Tree is suffocated by ivy. Ivy severing was stopped as there was potential structural support from the ivy. Tree is on roadside and in contact with fibre optics. Low amenity and potential to fall on road. T2 - Oak - Remove to ground level Tree is stag heading due to poor location (area which regularly floods) which is impacting the roots. Tree is in falling distance to neighbours outhouse. Branches dropping/failing in the past.
