Planning application
2 Pleachway Heaton Mersey Stockport SK4 3DR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Rear garden is 29m x 15m with many trees (see diagram). We wish to cut down the Leylandii which is growing up and through the Ash tree. In addition we wish to have a tree surgeon reduce the crown of the Ash by no more than 30%. The Leylandii is referenced tree 1 and the Ash tree 2. The Ash we believe was taken back via a similar crown reduction many years ago, but has grown a lot in this time. In addition the Leylandii has grown much more and as it is less than 2m away is completely overpowering the Ash tree, it is also now taller than the Ash. HAR/CA14

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
