Planning application

20/04247/CAT

3 Church Mead Churton by Aldford Chester Cheshire CH3 6LP

Decided Cheshire West and Chester Trees

Proposal

Fell Weeping Silver Birch and replace it with two smaller apple trees planted along the boundary. This tree has outgrown its position to which it is ill-suited. It is shading a large proportion of a relatively small garden, and causes nuisance to the residents and visitors by overhanging to main access to the property.

As published by the council, reference 20/04247/CAT

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.
