DC/100169 - Tree Works In A Conservation Area Registered
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T1) Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) - remove diseased tree to ground level. Tree is dying off rapidly with several totally dead branches and extensive loss of bark on the branches and trunk. There are several utility cables close to the tree and parking spots so we would like to remove the tree from a cherry picker before branches start falling and damaging things.HAR/CA14 Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 7

Heaton Mersey conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Public footpath 26 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Local nature reserve 264 m away: Heaton Mersey Common
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
5 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Beechwood, Grade II, 49 m away · 5 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Show all 5 with distances
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Nature recovery project: Lost Wetlands; Tree preservation order 18 m away: TPO-414W; Inside the Stockport built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 18 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.
