Planning application

The Gatehouse Cherington Drive Tyldesley Manchester M29 8WE

Awaiting decision Wigan A/26/101679/WTTPO

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1, T2, T3 Three Copper Beech Crown lift the trees to approximately 4 metres above ground level and 3 metres, to an approximate height of 12 metres. And because the 3 trees form a collective canopy, one side is approximately 20 metres from tip to tip reduce by 2 metres each side for a total of 4 metres and a finishing lateral length of 16 metres. The opposing lateral length is approximately 8 metres tip to tip reduce by 1 metre on each side, for a total of 2 metres and a finishing lateral length of 6 metres T4 Ash Remove one lower limb extending over Manchester Road and selectively reduce two additional lower limbs back from the adjacent building (The Gatehouse). The two limbs are currently 8m long from the main stem to the tip. I am proposing to reduce each one by 4-5m to the growth point nearest the stem, which is of sufficient size and 2-3m long. The removal of the highway overhanging limb will address encroachment over the road and help maintain appropriate clearance and safety for highway users. The reduction of the two limbs adjacent to the building will establish suitable separation between the branches and the structure, minimising the potential for branch contact, rubbing and potential damage to the building.
