Planning application

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

As published by the council, reference 26/0555/TCA
