269B Chester Road Hartford Northwich Cheshire West And Chester CW8 1LP

Tree Species: Yew (Taxus baccata) Proposed Works: Fell the tree to ground level and remove the stump. Section 211 Notice of Intent (Trees in a Conservation Area) Tree Identifier: T1 (Yew) Approximate Dimensions: Height: 30 feet (approx. 9 meters) | Crown Spread: width 15 feet Location: Situated on the property boundary, leaning significantly over the shared driveway between 269B Chester Road, Hartford, Northwich Cheshire CW8 1LP and 269 & 269C. Current Condition & Justification: The tree is located within a Conservation Area but is not subject to an individual Tree Preservation Order (TPO). The tree exhibits a pronounced lean directly over a high-use, shared vehicle and pedestrian access route. This lean compromises the structural stability of the tree relative to its target zone, creating a safety hazard for residents and vehicles using the driveway. Felling is proposed to eliminate the risk of failure over this shared infrastructure. Detailed Specification of Works: Sectional Felling: Dismantle the tree section-by-section to ground level using controlled rigging techniques to protect the shared driveway surface, adjacent boundary walls, and properties. Stump Removal: Grind out the stump to approximately 300mm below ground level to prevent regrowth and allow the ground to be safely reinstated. Site Clearance: Remove all timber, woodchips, and arisings from the site, leaving the area safe and clear.
