  14 Waters Edge Marple Bridge Stockport SK6 5EX

  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
