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.

Barrow Church of England Primary School, Playing Field Ferma Lane Barrow Chester CH3 7HW
1. Prune the re-growth of a Weeping Willow tree (T1) back to its previous pruning point. This tree is described as a large individual specimen bifurcating at 2.5m forming three co-dominant stems, which had previously been pollarded at 5m due to previous failure. There is vigorous re-growth on weak attachments at the stage where it requires removing to ensure stability and safety. Some branches are lying on the flat roof of an adjacent mobile classroom with potential for damage. 2. Prune the re-growth of an apple tree (T2). This tree is described as an old fruit tree with severe stem decay, which had previously been topped at 3m with good re-growth bearing fruit. This heavy growth is on weak attachments, so the tree requires pruning to maintain stability. Both these recommendations for pruning are assessed as Priority 1 - High: Action to be taken immediately (within 1 - 2 months). 3. Remove basal growth from a cherry tree (T6). 4. Prune re-growth on sides and top to shape on a Leyland Cypress (G4). Both these recommendations for pruning are assessed as Priority 3 - Low: Not essential work, but would benefit the tree (within 12 - 24 months).
