26/04756/TR - Tree Works Approved

Proposal

Removal of leylandii to front of Pinecroft Main Street Walton on left hand side of pedestrian gate as house is viewed from road. Tree is approaching utility wiring directly above it and is impacting our property due to excessive requirement for water and nutrients whilst giving nothing back. It is also a biodiversity graveyard and doesnt attract birds, mammals, or pollinators or other insects and we will replace it with two trees appropriate for the space and with a view to attracting greater variety of fauna and chosen to not impact ours or other peoples property. These will complement the street scape and nature of the smaller front garden we have created. Data via plota.co.uk

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
