Planning application

926 Chester Road Great Sutton Ellesmere Port CH66 2LT

Granted Cheshire West and Chester 20/00008/TPO Application to fell/lop TPO trees

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

Removal of 1 semi mature oak tree (T1) to ground level. As of December 2019 the oak tree fractured out a very large section from the top of the tree which upon climbing and removing shed light on a greater problem in the main union of the tree. The oak tree has numerous old wounds all originating from around this 1 central point with significant rot maturing with very little calus tissue around them. The one highlighted in the picture is on the topside of the remaining top section which has a very large amount of weight on this fragile tension point. This section is also directly above a highly used area (driveway and pavement).
