Planning application
DC/099589
9 Park Gates Drive Cheadle Hulme Stockport SK8 7DD
Proposal
There are two trees of concern. 1 A large magnolia in our front garden which requires pruning as the outer branches are growing into overhead wires 2 A very large Beech tree at the back of the garden which also needs pruning. My partner, who has lived here since the 1970?s remembers it last being pruned about 40 years ago. It is casting the back garden in permanent shade. The Beech tree shares the border of 3 properties (number 1, 7 and 9 Park Gates Drive, SK8 7DD). Matthew Thompson (Arborist) has visited the garden and advised that the trees should be pruned by 20 to 30 per cent. HAR/CA29.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Stockport for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
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.
