25/1776/TCA - Works to trees in a conservation area Approved

Proposal

1. Request to fell dead Elder. The leaves fell off this spring. Our tree surgeon confirms the Elder is dead. (Approx 7 meters from the house) 2. The Mulberry tree trunk has split. To avoid further splitting and disease, our tree surgeon has advised that it needs to be pruned so that the weight of the branches do not strain the trunk. Tree trunk is approx 2-3 meters from the house. 3. 2 new apple trees will be planted in the garden this autumn Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 7

Croxley Green conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Public footpath about 22 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Rickmansworth built-up area; Open access land about 15 m away: Access Land - Combined Open Country, Registered Common Land and Section 16 Dedicated Land. MoD Byelaw, Section 28 Exclusions, Racecourses and Aerodromes and ECP Margin have been removed..
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
