Planning application

3 Church Mead Churton by Aldford Chester Cheshire CH3 6LP

Decided Cheshire West and Chester 20/04247/CAT Trees

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

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.
