Planning application

Oakthorpe 2A Beech Close Rufford Ormskirk Lancashire L40 1TH

Granted Sefton T/2024/0125/TPO Works to Protected Trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

1) Oak tree - TPO. I would like to have maintenance work carried out again due to excessive shading. As in previous years I would like to thin crown by 15 to 20% to focus on lateral weeping branches, to reduce spread on all sides. Remove shoots on trunk up to 4m from ground. This will increase light to garden and house. 2) Holly (rear of property). I would like to fell this tree due to excessive shading to the rear of the property. 3) Cedar (front of property). I would like to fell this tree due to excessive shading and risk of damage if part of the tree falls off. 4) Holly (front of property). I would like to have maintenance work carried out again due to excessive shading. I would like to thin the crown by 20% and lift crown up to 4m from floor.
