6 TREE WORKS APPLICATIONS
To review the latest planning applications.
| Application
Ref |
Address | Proposal |
| 22/3541T | Unitarian Chapel, Adams Hill | Section 211 notice:
The tree concerned is located in the grounds of Brook Street Chapel, Knutsford, to the rear of the property. It is close to the boundary line between the grounds and a residential property. There is a branch which extends over the boundary, and on to our neighbours’ side, getting very close to the roof of the house, and also to his conservatory. He has asked us to arrange for pruning of the branch to reduce the threat to his property. We have agreed to do so and will arrange for it to be done professionally. It amounts to quite a light pruning, probably by about 2-3 metres. I attach a sketch plan of the area. I do not believe there is a TPO on the tree, but I believe the tree may be situated in a conservation area. |
| 22/3570T | 2 Buckingham Drive | Works to Protected Trees:
1) Beech tree – Inspection of crown and removal of any deadwood. Minor trimming to ensure 3 metres clearance from chimney on Park Cottage, 19 Chelford Rd. Inspection of small branch overhanging Chelford Rd where cavity is present. Trim back if required to cavity position to maintain safety of Highway users. Minor pruning of crown. 2) Lime Tree – Inspection of tree and removal of any deadwood. Inspection of cavity in right hand branch, which over hangs Park Cottage, 19 Chelford Rd and removal of branch down to cavity position if advisable for safety to Park Cottage. |
| 22/3576T | 188 Grove Park | Works to Protected Trees:
T1 Sycamore – Fell T2 Beech – Overall reduction by 1.5-2m and 10% thin |
