Planning application

1 Cottage Close Watford WD17 3NN

Refused Watford 21/00588/TPO Works to Preserved Trees

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Works to trees under TPO.49 Pine (T2) - either to be felled or significantly cut back due to excessive size. We feel the tree is severe risk to surrounding properties when subject to high winds.

As published by the council, reference 21/00588/TPO
