16 Gibsons Road Heaton Moor Stockport SK4 4JX
The tree is a large ash at the end of the garden of 16 Gibsons Road. It is identified under the TPO reference above. It can be seen from the street but access can be provided to take a closer look from the garden. The tree is a magnificent ash and a distinctive feature of the immediate area. However, it has outgrown the space and it has signs of ash dieback and may present a risk to nearby people and property. The tree dominates our garden and the gardens of our 5 closest neighbours who share our concerns. The branches are showing early signs of dieback. The larger lower branches are deeply dipping to a much lower level. In bad weather, any of these might fall and destroy the outbuildings and sheds directly underneath and damage any of the houses or harm people. We would like to be able to pollard the tree to the main trunk and split of three branches by removing the upper branches. This would allow it to generate new healthy growth that can be maintained at regular intervals. HAR/CA15, TPO 19N.
