Planning application

24/0007/TPO

27 Copthorne Road Croxley Green Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4AB

Granted Three Rivers Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Proposal

Cypress (T90). This tree has grown to such an extent that it poses a risk to the property Flat 27a. In the recent high winds the tree has continually hit Flat 27a and this has dislodged the haunching of the concrete tiled roof. The tree is of such a height and spread that it could cause further significant damage should it deflect sufficiently or part of it fall. Proposed work: Whole crown reduction to 13m above ground level, to provide sufficient clearance to property.

As published by the council, reference 24/0007/TPO

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
