Planning application
20 Pinfold Lane Romiley Stockport SK6 4NP
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
T18 to be taken down and a similar tree planted within the area. This is due to a structural lean towards the house and concerns regarding stability. T 20 to be taken down and a similar tree planted within the area. This is due to tree having been planted 2 meters from next doors house. I am seeking consent to remove two trees covered by TPO due to safety and reasonable management concerns. Tree 1 is visibly leaning and appears increasingly unstable. There are concerns regarding structural integrity, particularly during periods of high wind. Given its position within falling distance of property, it presents a foreseeable risk. Tree 2 is approximately 80 feet in height and located approximately 2 metres from the neighbour's house. Due to its scale and proximity to built structures, there are concerns regarding potential structural impact, root influence, and risk in the event of failure. The size and position of both trees are now considered inappropriate for their location. I am willing to undertake replacement planting with a more suitable species in an agreed location, should the Council require this as a condition of consent. TPO 306E.

The proposed works seek to manage the trees in a proportionate and sympathetic manner whilst retaining its the amenity value and prominence. In current form the lateral growth interferes with the building and is a danger to both the building and the on-site workers. The proposed reduction and rebalancing works are intended to improve the structural balance of the crown, reduce over-extended lateral weight, and provide appropriate clearance from the building. The applicant recognises the importance of the tree to the streetscape and is to ensure its sustainable retention. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998 (Tree Work Recommendations).

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.
