Planning application
Emerald Cottage 7 Askew Road Moor Park Northwood Hertfordshire HA6 2JE
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
There is one lone willow tree that is clearly dead because there has been no foliage since last autumn. It is very close to the hedge separating us with number 5 Askew Road. We are concerned that branches falling from the tree may cause damage and/or injury to children in both gardens.

Leylandii - I would like the tree to be cut down, as it appears to be rotting inside. The crown had 3 sections, one of which broke off in the storm, leaving the other 2 section vulnerable and likely to come down in the next storm. The first section narrowly missed me, when it came down whilst I was inspecting the garden. There are 2 adjacent leylandii which appear to be in good health.
