Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Silver Birch (T1) - Crown reduction by up to a maximum of 3m height and 1.5m lateral for the reasons of tree management, increased light transmission and reduced material overhanging neighbouring property in close proximity. Crown clean and sever ivy. Yew (T2) - Crown raise to 5m by removing 6 lowest branches and thin by 10% in order to increase light transmission into the garden. Crown clean and sever ivy. Locust (T3) - Removal due to basal decay. Weighted towards and within the target of dwelling. Removal will also allow more light transmission for ilex and Quercus in close proximity.

Decision
Awaiting decision

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.

2 Hadrian Way Cuddington Northwich Cheshire West And Chester CW8 2JR
After consultation with a qualified arborist (Alex Davies from AJD Tree Care, Sandbach) regarding several trees on our property, he recommended the following actions (please refer to sketch map for the location of the affected trees T1, T2, T3 and T4) T1 Copper Beech TPO V/81/00175/ORD Tree No 9 Crown Lift to raise the lower small branches which overhang the pavement and are currently at head height in places T2 and T3 Sycamore Conservation Area owned by Church Crown Lift to remove the lower branches which overhang the garden of 2 Hadrian Way and are currently at head height in places T4 Sycamore Conservation Area joint owned by Church and 2 Hadrian Way Crown Lift to remove lower branches which overhang the garden of 2 Hadrian Way and are currently scraping the garage roof. The wind causes the branch to bang the roof which we believe will increase the likelihood of structural damage in bad weather. We have only been in this property for about 6 months but we recall that the previous owners suffered damage to the garage roof from a falling branch some years ago - presumably the same tree. We have spoken to the Church Warden (Ali Fletcher) about the proposed work, and on behalf of the church, she is happy for the work to proceed from her perspective.
