Planning application

Witch Elms 54 Leighton Road Neston Cheshire CH64 3SE

Granted Cheshire West and Chester 19/02370/TPO Application to fell/lop TPO trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Two Birch trees located at 54 Leighton Rd and labelled A and B are shown on the plan view attached. Tree A has a low branch, identified on location pictures 1 and 2 attached, requires removing due to excessive shading and its interference with the street lamp outside 56 Leighton Rd. The proposal is to employ an appropriately trained agent to remove the branch at the trunk.

As published by the council, reference 19/02370/TPO
