Planning application
4 New Beech Road Heaton Mersey Stockport SK4 3AR
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1) Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) - remove diseased tree to ground level. Tree is dying off rapidly with several totally dead branches and extensive loss of bark on the branches and trunk. There are several utility cables close to the tree and parking spots so we would like to remove the tree from a cherry picker before branches start falling and damaging things.HAR/CA14

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.
