Planning application

4 Gorsefield Tattenhall Chester CH3 9HB

Refused Cheshire West and Chester 24/02534/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Oak in rear garden to be reduced horizontally (spread) by 10m with a small amount taken off the height say 5m. The tree is blocking out light in the garden and may present a safety risk in future due to falling boughs.
