   Added to PlanIndex

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.

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.

  10 Hooley Range Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 4HU

  The tree under application is an Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), designated as T70 on the Stockport Council TPO/Conservation Area mapping system. The resident initially requested an assessment for full tree removal following two distinct structural failures: one instance where a failing limb nearly caused personal injury, and a separate incident resulting in property damage to a private vehicle parked on the driveway. 2. Arboricultural Assessment A ground-level visual inspection of T70 was conducted on 22/5/2026. The tree currently exhibits good physiological health, particularly when contextualized against the regional prevalence of Ash Dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) and symptoms appear limited to a potential Stage 1 infection. The inspection revealed no structural defects at the base, with an absence of basal cavities or fungal fruiting bodies. 3. Proposed Works and Justification While the resident favors removal to mitigate risk, complete removal is disproportionate given the tree?s current vitality and high amenity value within the Heaton Moor Conservation Area. To mitigate the risk of ongoing limb shedding while preserving the tree, it is proposed to crown reduce/pollard the specimen by 30% to 40%. The reduction will significantly decrease wind-loading, reduce leverage on individual branches, and safely retain the tree within its urban setting. 4. Replacement Planting The resident hasn't provided definitive instructions regarding a replacement tree. However, following discussions, they are environmentally conscious and receptive to the idea of replanting a suitable replacement, should the council deem it a necessary condition of the permitted works.
