Decided Cheshire West and Chester 20/03525/CAT Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Fell 1 x Beech tree which has outgrown its location. It is too close to house, inhibiting growth of adjacent trees and expanding laterally across lawn. Would consider planting replacement elsewhere in garden subject to advice of experts.
