Planning application
26/02147/TPO
3 Wood Croft Guilden Sutton Chester CH3 7SS
Proposal
Oak tree (T1) - 2.5-3 m reduction on over extended specific limbs and to reduce the rest of the canopy to match in with the new pruning point on the over extended limbs. This will include a height reduction of 1.5m. The majority of the works will be taken on branches and limbs that are on 3 Wood Croft, the tree does overhang onto 6 Hickmore Heys but a overall reduction on their side is not necessary due to their side already being in line with the proposed new canopy formation due to having maintenance on that side previously.
As published by the council, reference 26/02147/TPO

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Cheshire West and Chester for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.
