Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 3030285.
The Horse Chestnut Tree is causing subsidence and drainage problems at 4 Woodlands Road - excessive cracking in the property and superstructure failure as a result of the Tree. Structural Survey carried out which highlights the superstructure issue which is directly related to the Horse Chestnut Tree. Tree Survey carried out and confirmed that the Tree has Horse Chestnut Blight and is soaking up excessive moisture from subsoils in a bid to overcome the disease. Resulting in failing foundations of surrounding properties, drainage supplies and water mains.

Having spoken to passers by there is an issue with Excessive branches and fruit falling on the road and path which is a school route for children attending surrounding schools.
Drain is becoming blocked with excessive tree debris.
