Planning application

31 Covert Rise Tattenhall Chester Cheshire West And Chester CH3 9HA

Awaiting decision Cheshire West and Chester 26/02846/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1- X1 Oak Tree. To carry out a crown reduction on the entire tree canopy of between 2-3 metres. The tree is in clear decline, sparse canopy, lacking vitality, lots of deadwood and branch dieback. The root system on around 40% of the tree looks to have been covered with historic amounts of soil when the property was constructed.

As published by the council, reference 26/02846/TPO
