Planning application
4 Mauldeth Road Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 3NW
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
There are two mature beech trees at the bottom of my garden which are in the conservation area. They have grown very tall and one overhangs my neighbour?s garden. I would like to top the trees and allow my neighbour to reduce two branches which overhang her garden as she is worried they may break off and fall on her grandchildren. She has asked me to make them safer. HAR/CA21, TPO 396W.

3 Leegate Close Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 3NN
We are applying for the complete removal of a single, large, multi-stemmed (3?4 main trunks) Leylandii conifer. The tree is no longer suitable for its location and has become a matter of structural damage to the garden wall and untidy dropping of dead brown debris to the public footpath and the neighbouring property. The tree's substantial root system is lifting and destroying the adjacent public footpath. The tree is suffering from branch dieback. The multiple trunks shed significant quantities of needle-like brown debris directly onto the public pavement and neighbouring properties. The lateral root expansion is actively destabilising and cracking the garden boundary wall. It is structurally impossible to repair or rebuild this wall without severing the tree's primary structural roots, which would critically compromise the tree's stability over the public highway. Because Leylandii trees do not regenerate from brown old wood, any attempt to hard-prune or cut back its width to a manageable boundary would result in a permanently dead, brown, and unsightly fa?ade, severely damaging the visual amenity of the area. To enhance the character of the conservation area, we propose completely removing the tree and replacing it by nurturing existing, and where necessary planting new, hornbeam hedging at approximately 2.5 meters high, to match all other external hornbeam hedge boundries between properties on Leegate Close. HAR/CA21.
