  5 Springwell Court Springwell Avenue Mill End Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 8DL

  The tree at the back of the garden has become huge over the last year. Tenants have just reported a huge branch dropped off the tree narrowly avoiding her 5 year old son and smashing the shed. This raises serious H&S concerns about the tree, so we need to urgently have works conducted. Beech Trees X 2 - trees are in danger to the residents and we wish the application to consider removing them in lieu of planting younger trees.
