Planning application
4 Bedford Road Moor Park Northwood Hertfordshire HA6 2BB
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Removal of a large fir tree at the end of our back garden which has been slowly dying and now lost approx 80% of it's branches & needles Removal of a Robinia tree (which was planted by us) but has grown too large and is much too close to the front of our house. It also has a very invasive root system which could do damage to our foundations, driveway etc.
