Planning application
20 Pinfold Lane Romiley Stockport SK6 4NP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
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). TPO 306E.

DC/098803 Refused
20 Pinfold Lane Romiley Stockport SK6 4NP
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.
