Planning application

20/03907/TPO

3 Hornbeam Close Hoole Lane Chester Cheshire CH2 3DF

Granted Cheshire West and Chester Other

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

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

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.
