23/1985T	Memorial House, Northwich Road	Works to Protected Trees: Tree 34 & Tree 43 Common Lime – Single row flanking the existing drive to the property all previously pollarded at 4m in the past and on a regular basis there after. Action: Prune to provide 3m clearance from proposed building.
23/2020T	7 Oakleigh	Works to Protected Trees: Row of mixed species along the boundary of no 7 Oakleigh. Request of crown lift to 5 metres and a reduction of 2 metres on the side of said property due to close proximity and loss of light agreement has been made with land owner
23/2011T	190 Grove Park	Works to Protected Trees: T1 Oak Tree – Crown reduction by 20%
23/2105T	20 Fir Tree Avenue	Works to Protected Trees: Mixture of deciduous trees marked on the sketch plan in yellow as G1: Removal of dead wood from the canopies of all trees in the rear garden of 20 Fir Tree Avenue. Oak tree marked as T1 in blue on the sketch plan: Removal of one limb to branch bark collar. The limb is growing to the south east, that has become over extended due to searching for light underneath the canopy of other trees.
23/2113T	8 Trevone Close	Works to Protected Trees: T1: Copper Beech growing in the hedgerow. *Not actually mentioned in the Tree Preservation Order description, but within the boundaries marked for the group TPO so included with the application. Reduction by up to 2m (20%) throughout the canopy and removal of any limbs interfering with or shading out protected oak. T2: Oak Tree mentioned in the group TPO adjacent to 8 Trevone Close. Reduction away from the property by up to 2m, removal of all dead wood and reduction of any over extended limbs by up to 1m to improve the aesthetic qualities of the tree and to prevent limbs becoming any more over extended.
23/2086T	The Orchard Brook Lane	Section 211 notice: My neighbours and I wish to undertake some tree work on the boundary between The Orchard and 5, Brook Lane, which is within the conservation area boundary, although there are no TPOs. The tree in question looks like a four stemmed conifer tree. Its location is shown on the enclosed sketch plan. The tree is within 5m of both our houses and has grown much higher than either of them – maybe as high as 25-30m. In the recent high winds we became aware of just how much movement there was. The proposed work is to remove the tree/s and allow the beech hedge to develop.
23/2152T	Roxburgh Legh Road	Works to Protected Trees/Section 211 notice: G1 Mixed tree group. Yew under the Sycamore at the front of the property cut back to the line of the fence (keeping all internal growth for screening). Holly to the right (from the roadside) clip back by approx 1 m Holly to the left of the area clip back by approx 1 m Yew close to the corner reduce the 3 lowest limbs back to the fence Clip Holly on the corner by approx 1 – 1.25 m up to 5 m from ground level. Reasons: To reduce overhang and allow more light to the grass verge. The client would also like to try to thicken the hedge by cutting it back.
