Planning application
23/00492/TR
Ashfield House Ashfield Park Weston Lane Otley
Proposal
T3) To balance and aid stability for longer retention of the tree. Reduce leaning Beech tree in height by approximately 5m maximum leaving 10m overall height, and radial spread over the south side to reduce weight load by 4m max, leaving 3m. (difficult to gauge spread given the severity of the lean and limited access to the filed side) The root flare has lifted and the ground is visibly sinking behind it. Disregard T1 & T2 on the photos, these were part of RWC's original visit but not part of this application.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
