Planning application
Valley View Rasehill Close Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4EW
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
#1. Lime Tree The tree has never been pruned and it has grown to such a height that there is a concern that it may fall onto my property or onto the Chorleywood Road. A tree surgeon has recommended pollarding the tree by 10m. #2. Conifer This tree is also very close to the boundary and the tree surgeon has recommended reducing the height by 3.5 to 4m.
