Planning application

Bishops House 1 Abbey Street Chester CH1 2JD

Decided Cheshire West and Chester 24/03619/CAT Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Removal of 1 x small tree growing in an unsuitable location directly against the wall of the property garage. The tree has caused damage to a drainage gulley and its retention is not possible as it is impeding the repair of the damaged area and re-siting of guttering / downpipe. without repair damage to the fabric of the building is likely.
