23 Wolsey Road Moor Park Northwood Hertfordshire HA6 2HN

Granted Three Rivers 26/0555/TCA Works to trees in a conservation area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

I have spoken to my gardener and he says that the low overhanging branches and twigs are going to hamper grass growth and garden prospects. The low branches are also a hazard when walking in my back garden bc of sharp edges. We just want to trim the low hanging branches and twigs. Photos attached

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
