Planning application

Green Hill Sandy Lane Northwood HA6 3ER

Refused Three Rivers 24/1342/TPO Works to trees covered by a Tree Pres O

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

It is proposed to fell two Silver Birches; and to carry out tree surgery, including a crown reduction by 2-3m to three Oaks. The two Silver Birches (G4) are heavily suppressed and are both leaning on the rear neighbour's roof (Dell Lodge). The Oaks (T1, T2 & T3) are blocking sunlight into the front and rear gardens (T1 has been reduced in the past).

    TPO564 Sandy Lane, Northwood. Species/Description: Conifer (TPO tree. Ref T108). We have a large conifer in our garden (see sketch plan where the conifer is highlighted yellow). It is c. 15 metres high with wide branches. It is has grown to the extent that the area of garden around it is now in the shade and other plants/grass cannot grown because the sunlight is blocked out. We intend to trim/prune the conifer (using professional tree surgeons) to reduce the size by c. 33%.
