Planning application

1 Whaddon Drive Chester CH4 7ND

Granted Cheshire West and Chester 26/02390/TPO Other

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Cedar (T28) - Sympathetically reduce the two extended lateral limbs by pruning back to suitable secondary growth to reduce end weight and lever arm loading while maintaining the natural form of the crown. Remove the partially failed and suspended limb from the upper eastern canopy. Remove all deadwood throughout the crown. Undertake a light crown thin of approximately 5-10%. One branch, as shown in the photographs, requires immediate removal as it poses a significant hazard to a neighbour's property and to anyone using their garden.
