Planning application

Land 409022 437458 Sandy Banks Wilsden Bradford West Yorkshire

Granted Bradford 26/01683/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

This is a retrospective application following a phone call with Tree Conservation, Bradford in light of the danger of the tree falling into a footpath in Open Access woodland owned by Wilsden Parish Council. The tree has since been felled: it was a mature Silver Birch about 8-10 metres tall which had a split about 1.5 metres above the ground. The tree was leaning against an adjacent tree near the footpath. It appeared to be in danger of coming down and the parish council was not comfortable in leaving for more than a week or so. Further to a phone call to the Trees Conservation Team the parish clerk was told to first provide proof by way of photos to prove the risk and it was confirmed that the tree could be removed as it is a health and safety issue. This was confirmed by Peter Wilman from the Woodlands Team.
