Retrospective Application Oak tree - Fell - dead tree Sycamore tree - Deadwood, crown lift and reduce overhang over the road by 1-2 meters. Cherry - Fell - dead tree. HAR/ CA10, TPO 25N, TPO 73E.

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.

Holly Tree stood in one corner of the garden. Concerns that it was dead and in danger of falling and be a threat to householders, neighbours, school at the rear and the walkway used by students, parents and pedestrians. The Agent mentioned that the tree has >80% die back in its crown and at immediate risk of falling. Peter Pollard advised that a retrospective application would suffice. The tree has been cut and removed by the Agent 18/07/2023. HAR/CA33.

Lime tree located between the drives at 10/12 St Lesmo Road. Planning permission already granted for tree work (application via Ben Bostock DC/077739) but tree was found to be badly diseased and dangerous. Tree was seen by council Arboriculturalist (name possibly somebody Pollard) and advice given to take the tree down asap. Tree Surgeon Peter Duckwork has now taken the tree down and I have been advised to apply for retrospective permission. As the stump is still in place and the space between the drives is very limited I do not think replanting would be possible but will take advice on this. TPO#: 410W.
