Planning application

The Chorleywood Beaumont Chorleywood Lodge Lane Chorleywood Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5BY

Granted Three Rivers 24/1164/DDD Dead, diseased or dangerous

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Pine, fell. Dead and close proximity to the road. TG2 Mixed specie woodland. Crown lift over car park. Crown lift to 5.2m above road and pavement. The low branches are currently impacting the use of the footpath by pedestrians and forcing people to walk in the road. T3 Birch, fell. Dead. **This application should be considered for a 5 day notice as, in my opinion, it is causing a hazard for pedestrians using the footpath and T1 is dead and in falling distance of the road.**

As published by the council, reference 24/1164/DDD
