Planning application

16 Wells Close Mickle Trafford Chester Cheshire CH2 4DZ

Refused Cheshire West and Chester 19/03882/TPO Application to fell/lop TPO trees

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Oak tree to be felled because of excessive shading and low amenity value. Had to replace the decking area at the back due to it being rotten because it cant dry out because of the shading. Gutters are always getting blocked when tree starts to drop its leaves. Nothing will be replanted in place of this because of the location.

As published by the council, reference 19/03882/TPO

What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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.
