PL 23/142 TREE WORKS APPLICATIONS
It was RESOLVED to submit the comments detailed below.
In respect of 24/007T it was agreed to write to the property owner requesting the replacement hedge be a native hedge rather than laurel and in respect of 24/0142T it was agreed to write to the property owner asking they consider a replacement tree.
| 24/0005T | 72 Bexton Road | Works to protected trees:
Oak – reduce new regrowth to previous cuts, remove epicormic growth and crown lift to 4.5 meters over road and remove deadwood |
The council objects to the proposed works on the grounds that the tree contributes to the amenity of the area and insufficient information has been provided to justify the works. |
| 24/0007T | Legh View, Toft Road | Section 211 notice:
Planning sought to remove 18 beech trees in the back garden along one boundary. The intention is to replace these ‘whippy’ trees out of the growing season with an evergreen laurel hedge similar to those planted elsewhere on the property by previous home owners. |
The council raises no objections. |
| 24/0142T | Eskdale, Legh Road | Section 211 notice:
Removal of Maple tree (1) which lies in the centre of the northern boundary, as it is interfering with the north fence and cannot be controlled. Removal of two Beech trees ( 2 and 3) positioned towards the back corner of the garden on the southern side. These two trees have grown from an old hedge, and have multiple stems and are poor in form. The nearest to the boundary is also interfering with the boundary wall. |
The council raises no objections. |
| 24/0117T | Whitethorn, Chelford Road | Section 211 notice:
Large Conifer marked as a blue dot on the sketch plan: reduction in height by 40 percent approximately 10m to the same height as an adjacent smaller Conifer |
