Planning application
Mandalay 92 Valley Road Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4BJ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The 3 trees are all silver birch and I think they need to be removed as I am worried that if they are diseased it will spread to the two ones at the back that look healthy.
