Planning application
Roman Lakes Leisure Park Lakes Road Mellor Stockport SK6 7HB
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The tree order is a blanket order. The trees are predominantly crack willow and alder, rooted in the banks of the lake and its surrounding channels. The trees are too numerous to individually identify but a sketch plan of the area is attached. The area was once used for osier beds and is full of self-seeded trees, predominantly crack willow which have grown tall, thin and straight but are now leaning at severe angles and shedding limbs and starting to split and break up from the base. These trees run parallel to a neighbouring property's barns and outbuildings. Previously a tree fell in storms on a neighbouring barn. We have commenced work on the worst of the trees under a previous permission (DC/077859) but wish to continue. We wish to retain the woodland aspect but for safety remove any dead, dying and/or dangerous trees and coppice/ reduce in height the remaining self-seeded crack willow and alder with the intention of promoting a bushier growth at lower height. We also wish to cut back growth over hanging the water. We have a mixed hedge ready to plant along the boundary with the adjacent farm to act as a screen and enhance habitat. It is mixed deciduous trees (hawthorn, blackthorn, hornbeam, willow etc. TPO 10E.
