Planning application
14 Waters Edge Marple Bridge Stockport SK6 5EX
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The tree, the only one on the driveway at the front of the house, is a mature Rowan tree and I believe the wrong tree type was planted at the point in time when Waters Edge was built. The other driveway trees are all ornamental versions, rather than being standard size. There are several concerns with the tree, as follows: - Our neighbour (Number 13) has complained to us on several occasions and to the Council about the damage to his driveway caused by the large root structure of the tree. - The height of the tree is huge, our town house is 4 storey and the tree exceeds the height of the house quite significantly. As such, it blocks out light and may well be interfering with the joint drainage system that runs across the front of all the town houses within Waters Edge. - Due to the height and size of the tree, I also worry for my and my neighbours' properties should it, for any reason, fall. Loose branches do sometimes fall in strong winds and I am concerned that the larger the tree gets, the more damage it could cause to property if branches continue to fall. I am also concerned for the safety of the children that play around Waters Edge (including my own) and for the other occupants of the area (many of whom are elderly). The plan would be to resurface the driveway and put in place landscaping and a small ornamental tree, perhaps not in the same position, but within the driveway area so that the front garden remains pleasant in appearance. Several of our neighbours have already removed their trees or pollarded them significantly, so the removal of our tree would not look out of place. Tree at number 13 - heavily pollarded / Tree at number 15 - removed / Tree at number 11 - removed. - HAR/CA20

55 Parsonage Road Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 4JW
We are seeking permission to prune back to previous pruning points 4 x mature lime trees and 1 x mature Holly tree . The last permission received was Oct/Nov 2021 ref; PP -09642189v2 and there was a system code of DC/080278. When we bought the property 35 years ago, the Lime trees had been subjected to historic pollarding, so the canopies are now extensive, and require regular attention. The trees now impact upon the levels of natural light to the front and side of our property, which in turn impacts upon the growth of our front lawn and our mature planting. The side tree on Earl Road is now touching our property and the scale of the canopies and associated shade, light levels and physical barrier to the pavement and road is also a security risk via our reduced openness and light. One Lime tree and the Holly tree on Parsonage Road are blocking the bus stop sign outside the front of our house and also impact on the safety pf people waiting at the bus stop. The front Lime trees make contact with the bus as it stops and passes our house. The Lime tree on the corner of Parsonage/Earl Road is obstructing the 20 mph road sign from drivers, which is a safety issue. The canopies of all the trees overhanging this junction has the potential to interfere with pedestrians. HAR/CA15, TPO 19N.
