Awaiting decision Chorley Tree Works in Conservation Area

Proposal

Notification of proposed works to trees within Rivington Conservation Area -T2 - Beech- Propose lateral reduction of overhanging branches by up to 2.5 metres, back to appropriate growth points to clear the house (a listed building), as the shedding and shade is causing mildew to develop on the render, and the falling branches are over a pathway and dangerous; this work was previously undertaken with permission in April 2023 and we would like to repeat it (ref. 23/00200/TCON). T5 - Laburnum - Propose to remove 2 of 8 established stems to improve ambient natural light to the front garden. T6 - Tulip Tree - Propose minimal lateral reduction of overextended lower branches by up to 2 metres to reduce the weight of overextended limbs and prevent wind-throw or branch failure over the front garden. Photograph attached to illustrate.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Chorley 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.
