25 Priestnall Road Heaton Mersey Stockport SK4 3HR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Proposed work Proposed work to remove T3 from rear of 25 Priestnall Road Reason for proposed work: > T3 has tree has outgrown its environment to the extent that it is beginning to create severe, continuous, and unavoidable nuisance. It is leaning towards and encroaching over the top of neighbour's property (1 Sunnyfield Rd). There is a strong likelihood that it will begin to affect neighbour's property > Given there are multiple trees in a very small vicinity T4 (Holly), T5 (Holly) & T6 (Cherry) - all within a 3.5m radius, by removing T3 the remaining trees (T4, T5 & T6) will have better opportunity to establish and grow. > T3 is a Robinia, it is non-native, fast-growing & prone to brittle wood, structural failure, and invasive root systems. All of attributes render the positioning of this tree as hazardous to neighbouring building. Additionally it posses a split fork (2.3m) from ground and a 2nd (3.6m from ground) adding further risk to additional growth. Removal at this stage would mitigate any issues in the near future. As part of removal of T3 - it is proposed that a further tree will be planted within the boundary of 25 Priestnall Road as a replacement. HAR/CA21.

Two Beech trees T36 and T37 in the plan. These Trees have been dead for a number of years and now pose a very significant risk to human life including my family and grand children. These dead trees need to be felled or all branches need to be removed. We are unable to replant new trees because these trees are within a few inches next to a brick wall, we can only replace them with normal garden plants. TPO 344W.
