Planning application

3 Hornbeam Close Hoole Lane Chester Cheshire CH2 3DF

Granted Cheshire West and Chester 20/03907/TPO Other

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Oak (T1) - crown lift to 4m and reduce the branches by 3m which would leave 50% of the crown intact because of excessive shading to 3 & 2 Hornbeam Close and has low amenity value. Some of the low hanging branches are currently head height of a tall person and extend towards the back of 3 Hornbeam Close - squirrels have been nesting in the roof space.

As published by the council, reference 20/03907/TPO
