20 Beech Mews Davenport Stockport SK2 6LB
We are requesting retrospective permission to cut down a lyme tree in the garden of our property at 20 Beech Mews, Davenport Park, SK2 6LB. The tree was cut back to several metres in height yesterday as it was badly damaged/rotten and was posing a significant safety risk, to ourselves and to others in the surrounding area. Treeworks undertook the work to cut back the tree yesterday. Many other people were involved in the decision to cut back the tree and/or were kept informed of the situation yesterday, as follows: - We took advice from Andy Beech (a retired arborist from Stockport Council) as he was able to come and see the tree himself yesterday morning and advised that there was no doubt that it needed to be cut down ASAP yesterday for safety reasons. - Peter Pollard from Stockport council was kept fully appraised of the situation yesterday as it unfolded. - Ted Lawson (conservation manager from Davenport Park) was also kept informed of things yesterday. - Simon from Stockport council also came to see the tree prior to it being cut down and he agreed that it posed a significant risk. Photographs of the tree were taken by ourselves and Treeworks and were widely shared with the above people yesterday. After being cut back, the tree was left standing at several metres high as it was no longer deemed to be a safety risk. TPO 60E.
