Planning application

17 Dee Banks Chester Cheshire CH3 5UU

Decided Cheshire West and Chester 20/04260/CAT Trees

Works: Trees

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

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.
