Planning application

Land Rear of 14 The Holkham The Holkham Chester Cheshire

Decided Cheshire West and Chester 20/01660/CAT Trees

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

Ash T2 - Full crown reduction as excessive shade and also due to pigeons causing excessive mess in back garden. I'm concerned about the amount of bird feaces and how unhygienic it can be. The tree over hangs the back of the property greatly and covers the majority of the space for children to play. Along with the feaces dropping frequently there is also a number of small branches that snap off and fall into the garden. It does also cast a great deal of shade in the garden leaving only a small area that receives sun.
