Planning application
Cromdale Well Lane Ness Neston Cheshire West And Chester CH64 4AN
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Beech Tree no 6 by front boundary of property (Cromdale)overhanging Well Lane and neighbouring gardens - As advised by our tree surgeon, Mat Hewitt from Cheshire ARB Ltd, this tree would benefit from the following work- crown lift up to 4-5 metres on lower branches and reduce the tree crown by up to 1.5 metres. This would reduce the weight of the branches and increase light to gardens.
