Planning application

Millbrook House High Street Tattenhall Chester CH3 9PX

Awaiting decision Cheshire West and Chester 26/03235/CAT Trees

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 - Crown thin by approximately 15%, removing selected secondary and smaller branches throughout the crown to reduce overall crown density whilst retaining the trees natural form and structural framework. Reduce roadside lateral limbs by up to 2-3 metres, where appropriate, to reduce excessive end weight and mechanical loading on the limbs extending towards the roadside.

As published by the council, reference 26/03235/CAT
