Planning application
4 The Beeches Chorleywood Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 5DT
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
There is a single tall fir tree at the back of the grounds of 4 The Beeches and in the stormy weather, it moves to such an extent that we feel that it is dangerous and might fall and damage our property (8 South Cottage Drive) or the other surrounding properties. We have spoken with Nick, the owner of number 4 The Beeches and he is in agreement and happy for the tree to be removed or, maybe more likely, lopped right back to avoid any damage to properties.
