Planning application

5 Leighton Park Neston CH64 6TR

Granted Cheshire West and Chester 20/03717/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

2 x Sycamores - To crown thin and reduce some of the crown upto 20% to ensure maintenance and therefore safety of trees. Also because of the close proximity of the trees to the property and issue regarding light. 1 x Pine - To fell, because of its extreme proximity to the main window of the lounge and first floor bedroom restricting the right of light. This is a somewhat younger tree than the Sycamores and is of a non-native variety.

As published by the council, reference 20/03717/TPO
