Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
We have two lime trees in the front garden that are currently far too big for the garden the only trees shown on the front garden plan. They extend by a considerable length into the neighbour's garden (no 27), they are far too high and protrude well over the pavement and onto the road. There is a photo from 1985 (when we moved in) and a comparison from today showing how much they have grown, although we have had them pruned in the interim several times, and this is the idea of what we would like to go back to. Furthermore, the trees exude a sap that drips off the trees from May to September and is causing damage to both our cars and our neighbour's to the left (no 23) as we have a shared drive. It also drips on to the garden wall which is very unpleasant. In the back garden (and not sure permission is needed for the back garden?) we have a fig tree (number 3 on the plan) that again has grown far to big / wide / high for it's space. It now over shadows both our house and our neighbour to our left, number 23, and robs them of the evening sunshine. We are keen to cut these three trees back considerably so that they are more manageable going forward and do not intrude on to our neighbours' property or over the road.HAR/ CA15

DC/099708 Granted
55 Parsonage Road Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 4JW
We are seeking permission to prune back to previous pruning points 4 x mature lime trees and 1 x mature Holly tree . The last permission received was Oct/Nov 2021 ref; PP -09642189v2 and there was a system code of DC/080278. When we bought the property 35 years ago, the Lime trees had been subjected to historic pollarding, so the canopies are now extensive, and require regular attention. The trees now impact upon the levels of natural light to the front and side of our property, which in turn impacts upon the growth of our front lawn and our mature planting. The side tree on Earl Road is now touching our property and the scale of the canopies and associated shade, light levels and physical barrier to the pavement and road is also a security risk via our reduced openness and light. One Lime tree and the Holly tree on Parsonage Road are blocking the bus stop sign outside the front of our house and also impact on the safety pf people waiting at the bus stop. The front Lime trees make contact with the bus as it stops and passes our house. The Lime tree on the corner of Parsonage/Earl Road is obstructing the 20 mph road sign from drivers, which is a safety issue. The canopies of all the trees overhanging this junction has the potential to interfere with pedestrians. HAR/CA15, TPO 19N.
