Planning application

The Lodge Mauldeth Road Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 3NT

Granted Stockport DC/086686 Works To Trees Covered By A TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 - beech. Remove entire tree. Tree has compromised structural integrity due to massive open wound holding water on the tension side of the tree. Tree is heavily weighted towards the property and has delignifification in a huge open surface wound in the stem. Tree owner showed me Google images to identify some orange fruiting bodies they took from the base when 'tidying up'. Not present at time of arborist inspection but I think the tree in it's condition in this location is a hazard and should unquestionably be removed to mitigate the risk of failure. T2 - bird cherry in lawn remove as grown in wrong location T3 - tree on boundary in golf course land - crown reduction by 2.5meters to maintain the boundary. Pruning to BS3998 Group 4 - magnolia and damson - formative prune T5 - mountain ash in decline. Significantly reduce for habitat T6/7. 2 x magnolias in nrighbouring property- Inglewood - formatively prune and reduce for light 1.5 meters T8 - neighbours tree in inglewood see pics. Reduce as shown in pics but permission to remove in the future if required as growing with poor architecture in amenity border and trim conifers T9/T10/T11 - Oak tree prune to 2.5m over high way and crown reduction by 2meters - pruning to bs3998 T12 - twin stem beech - crown reduction by 2.5meters. Pruning to BS3998 Group 13 - oak and sycamore prune to 2.5 over high way - crown reduction by 2.5meters to maintain the boundary. Pruning to BS3998. HAR/CA21, TPO 71N.

What a grant of permission means

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.

    3 Heath Crescent Cale Green Stockport SK2 6JN

    Pine - removal - tree species is very big for narrow back garden location. Difficult species to crown reduce to control size / maintenance. Concidering the garden has an other established tree and smaller stock we felt the removal was justified if tree was replaced with something smaller. HAR/CA36.
