Sandalwood 7A Wolsey Road Moor Park Northwood Hertfordshire HA6 2HN
Received 27 Feb 2026 - Unknown26/0326/TPO
G1 & G2- there are 2 rows of mixed species trees, mainly Ash trees that are growing heavily over the rear garden. These are starting to form an archway over the garden not only closing the garden down and making the area dark but also covering solar panels making them work inefficient. We propose to cut back both rows of trees by 2.5-3m to open up the garden to retain current height and allow light onto the solar panels. The proposed lateral spread reduction would not affect the height of the trees and will leave the trees in a good state for regrowth. Ash trees are hardy trees so the minimal reduction of branches would not damage the trees. These trees cannot been seen from the road so would not damage the aesthetics of the area
