Planning application

Wisteria Cottage Dunstan Lane Neston CH64 8TL

Granted Cheshire West and Chester 19/02802/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

Scots Pine (T5) - Dead - Survey recommended "Reduce in height to 4 metres for wild life value" Oak Quercus robur (T7) - Tree leaning east with a crown extending to neighbours property, over a powerline. A high canopy on north west side. when stepping close to base of tree it was notice that earth and roots had risen. A hollow resounding sound was heard when forceful steps were made. Survey recommended "A crown reduction by 30% concentrating mainly on the east side." Oak Quercus robur (T18) - Tree in decline leaning heavily. Survey recommended "Remove." Chamaecpryris lawsoniana - (G2) - Survey recommended - "Reduce in height by 4 m." For clarification we would like to confirm these are not in the area covered by the Tree Preservation order as they are on the edge of/outside of the mature oaks/scots pine planting and are suspected to be hedging which has not been controlled. We would like to completely remove the three trees in G2 if they are not subject to a TPO and replace with Laurel/Rhododendron hedging.

    31 Covert Rise Tattenhall Chester Cheshire West And Chester CH3 9HA

    T1- X1 Oak Tree. To carry out a crown reduction on the entire tree canopy of between 2-3 metres. The tree is in clear decline, sparse canopy, lacking vitality, lots of deadwood and branch dieback. The root system on around 40% of the tree looks to have been covered with historic amounts of soil when the property was constructed.

    Churton Lodge Chester Road Churton by Aldford Chester CH3 6LA

    One pine at the entrance to Churton Lodge shown circled in red in the photo. This is a very overmature tree with three huge bottom limbs. Their used to be another pine behind this one which blew down as a result it lack and limbs on this side to help balance the tree. My fear is these limbs will either rip off due to their size and result in the loss of tree or cause it to fall down like its sister tree. I would like to just remove these three limbs to try and prevent this.

    2 Hadrian Way Cuddington Northwich Cheshire West And Chester CW8 2JR

    After consultation with a qualified arborist (Alex Davies from AJD Tree Care, Sandbach) regarding several trees on our property, he recommended the following actions (please refer to sketch map for the location of the affected trees T1, T2, T3 and T4) T1 Copper Beech TPO V/81/00175/ORD Tree No 9 Crown Lift to raise the lower small branches which overhang the pavement and are currently at head height in places T2 and T3 Sycamore Conservation Area owned by Church Crown Lift to remove the lower branches which overhang the garden of 2 Hadrian Way and are currently at head height in places T4 Sycamore Conservation Area joint owned by Church and 2 Hadrian Way Crown Lift to remove lower branches which overhang the garden of 2 Hadrian Way and are currently scraping the garage roof. The wind causes the branch to bang the roof which we believe will increase the likelihood of structural damage in bad weather. We have only been in this property for about 6 months but we recall that the previous owners suffered damage to the garage roof from a falling branch some years ago - presumably the same tree. We have spoken to the Church Warden (Ali Fletcher) about the proposed work, and on behalf of the church, she is happy for the work to proceed from her perspective.
