7A Trescott Mews Standish Wigan WN6 0AW
Description
T1 (Silver Birch) Tree is largest in group, resident wishes to fell and replant with smaller species. T2 (Sycamore) Fell to ground level. The trees have become large for their location and are now causing significant shading and enclosure to the garden/property area, alongside ongoing maintenance demands associated with leaf fall, debris and general management requirements. While the trees are not considered to be in immediate decline or presenting an acute safety defect at present, the applicant feels the species/scale is no longer appropriate for the setting and wishes to proactively manage the site before future issues arise. The proposed works are intended to reduce shading, usability of the outdoor space and overall property management.
