Planning application

20/04260/CAT

17 Dee Banks Chester Cheshire CH3 5UU

Decided Cheshire West and Chester Trees

Proposal

Silver Birch at south end of garden - crown lifting proposed and pruning of long and dangerous branch to restore balanced shape to the tree. Sycamore on eastern boundary of the plot - fell. The tree is an adventitious growth of low amenity value on a restricted site close to the neighbour's garage and the side wall of no. 17. The tree is becoming too large for the location and is potentially unstable due to the steep slope down to the neighbouring property. It also interferes with the telephone lines and has become covered with ivy despite attempts to prevent its growth.

The process from here

The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.

If permission was granted, work must normally begin within three years of the decision. If it was refused, the applicant can appeal within the statutory time limit or submit a revised scheme.

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.
