Planning application
Tara Trout Rise Loudwater Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4JY
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
We have a Robinia tree in our back garden that is too big for the space, and we are concerned that it will damage the retaining wall and encroach on the house. We would like to remove it and replace it with a tree that will not grow as large, such as a Japanese Dogwood.
As published by the council, reference 24/0985/TCA
