Planning application

A/26/100985/WTTPO

7A Trescott Mews Standish Wigan WN6 0AW

Awaiting decision Wigan Work to Trees - TPO

Proposal

T1 (Silver Birch) Tree is largest in group, resident wishes to fell and replant with smaller species. T2 (Sycamore) Fell to ground level. The trees have become large for their location and are now causing significant shading and enclosure to the garden/property area, alongside ongoing maintenance demands associated with leaf fall, debris and general management requirements. While the trees are not considered to be in immediate decline or presenting an acute safety defect at present, the applicant feels the species/scale is no longer appropriate for the setting and wishes to proactively manage the site before future issues arise. The proposed works are intended to reduce shading, usability of the outdoor space and overall property management.

As published by the council, reference A/26/100985/WTTPO

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Wigan 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.
