Planning application
48A High Street Weaverham Northwich CW8 3HB
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Sycamore (T1) - Remove. Horse Chestnut (T2) - Reduce the eastern stem by up to 3.0-3.5 metres in height and lateral spread, pruning back to suitable growth points, with the remaining crown balanced where appropriate, in order to reduce the loadings on the affected stem and mitigate the risk presented by the target. Minor deadwood noted throughout the crown presents a negligible risk and does not require intervention at this time. Western Red Cedar (T5), in group with Yew (T3) and Walnut (T4) - Remove Cedar, and reshape Yew and Walnut. Holly (T6) - Remove.
