Planning application

27 Sandbach Road, Congleton, Cheshire East, CW12 4LB

Status unknown Cheshire East 26/1543/TPO Works to TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Carry out a sympathetic crown reduction of approximately 1.5 m, maintaining the tree’s natural shape and structural balance. Lift the lower crown by 1 m by removing selected secondary branches only, ensuring even clearance around the canopy. Remove all dead, dying and fractured branches throughout the crown.

As published by the council, reference 26/1543/TPO

The process from here

The published feed does not show a live status for this application, which usually means the council register holds more recent detail than the copy PlanIndex receives.

The council portal linked on this page carries the authoritative version, including the documents, any consultation deadline and the decision once made. PlanIndex refreshes its copy of the register on a daily cycle.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
