Waverley Lodge Drive Loudwater Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4PT
85% historically approved · decision due ~27 Nov
1. Full removal and stumping of 9 Leylandii trees on Long Ridings adjacent to my boundary - see trees 1-9 on the title view and sketch plan. The trees' branches are very lop-sided towards our property, with branches hanging over a garden room and swimming pool. The trees drop lots of needles into my swimming pool which blocks the filter. Pigeons sit in the trees and defecate onto both the patio and pool. Long Ridings will be used for access for the felling of trees. Proposing to tidy site and replant trees with laurel bushes on the neighbour's side of my boundary fence. 2. Removal of 2 dead trees down to stumps within my Waverley boundary - see picture attached. The tree are leaning over significantly and putting pressure on the fence.
