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.

    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.
