Planning application
21 Broomfield Road Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 4NB
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Application to lower the crown of rear tree. The tree is a horse chestnut. It has had its crown lowered at least twice before, once before we purchased the house in 1999 and once by us over 20 years ago. The tree is at the far end of the garden and is now of a height to block out light and rain from the garden. We are aiming to again lower the crown of the tree by 8 metres to improve light and rain in the garden. The tree is directly next to the wall of Leylandiis recently lowered in height at the rear of 23, Broomfield Road. HAR/CA15, TPO 19N.

DC/099708 Granted
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.
