What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Three Rivers for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

47 Russell Road Moor Park Northwood Hertfordshire HA6 2LP
TG1 Coniferous Tree Group (3 trees) Goal: Sectional dismantle: Group of 3 trees - using rigging equipment Reasons: The group of three conifers is located in very close proximity to the residential property, with the canopy directly overhanging the roofline and guttering, thereby creating an ongoing risk of physical damage from branch contact and movement during adverse weather conditions. The dense evergreen foliage is contributing to excessive shading of the building and surrounding area, likely promoting damp conditions and restricting natural light. The close proximity and direct canopy contact with the building may also facilitate access for climbing animals such as squirrels, increasing the potential for pest ingress at roof level. The trees are growing in close formation, resulting in suppressed and uneven growth characteristics, which can compromise structural integrity and increase the likelihood of failure. Furthermore, their position adjacent to the building raises concerns regarding potential root-related impacts on foundations and underground services. T2 Ash Stem Goal: Pollard back to previous pruned point Reasons: Part of cyclical maintenance to ensure the ongoing health and safety of the tree.
