Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
3 Lime trees to the rear of 7 Hearthstone Close, SK8 - Part of a group of 7 Lime trees identified by Number: G19. The client would like to reduce the height of these trees, lift the crown, dead wood and thin. Proposed work as follows - Reduce the smaller Lime Tree (identified on the photo as T1) by 2 metres, lift to 5 metres and thin by 10 percent. T2 - Lift to 5 metres. T3 - Larger of the three lime trees - reduce height by 4 metres, lift to 5 metres, and push back laterals overhanging the boundary back to the boundary. This work will help to reduce excessive leaf litter and reduce excessive shading. The client also had some concerns over them falling in the storms. After inspection the trees look in good health. There is a small fissure on the stem of T3, but there is good adaptive growth around it. The trees are on an embankment next to the river with limited land anchorage, but they do seem stable. there are no signs of root plate lift or movement. All work will be done to BS 3998. TPO 4W.

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.
