Planning application
Merrilee Park Avenue Chorleywood Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5DU
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
T116 and T117 are extremely tall and need to be reduced in height to prevent them from falling down in a storm. In fact last May on a calm day whilst I was cutting the grass a large tree in the group at G28 at the bottom of the garden suddenly snapped and came crashing down almost hitting me and could have seriously injured me or even killed me. T118 is standing above and close to the house next door (Red Court) and if it falls in a storm will do serious damage to the house - it needs to be reduced in height and made safe.
