26/01971/TPO - Application to fell/lop TPO trees Approved

Proposal

Oak tree (T12) is situated on the verge in between the pavement running along the side of the property and the road (School Bank). It overhangs the house and now touches the roof and needs pruning before it causes damage. The offending branch should be cut back to where it forks, a length of about 3 meters. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 3

Green belt: Merseyside and Greater Manchester
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm.
Also on the record
Inside the Norley built-up area; the 1970s provisional farmland map had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
