Hollycroft Old Hollings Hill Guiseley Leeds LS20 8EW
Proposal
T1 Holly - Proposed removal to facilitate a planned house extension. T2 Holly - Crown reduction: reduction of overall height by approximately 1.5 metres, lateral reduction: reduction by 1.5 metres on all aspects (north, east, south and west) to maintain shape and manage size, crown thinning: approx 10%of the crown to be thinned to improve light penetration and air flow T3 Holly - Crown reduction, reduction of overall height by approximately 4 metres, lateral reduction: reduction by 1.5 metres on all aspects (north, east, south and west) to maintain shape and manage size, crown thinning: approx 10% of the crown to be thinned to improve light penetration and air flow. Reason: The tree is extremely top heavy, with a dense upper canopy that contributes to imbalance. It also exhibits a significant lean of approximately 70% in the direction of the childrens bedrooms and play area, raising concerns about safety and structural stability. The proposed reduction aims to mitigate risk, manage size, and preserve the trees health while ensuring the safety of nearby occupants. T4 to T6 Hollies - Crown reduction: reduction of overall height by approximately 4 metres, lateral reduction: reduction by 1.5 metres on all aspects (north, east, south, and west) to maintain shape and manage size, crown thinning: approx 10% of the crown to be thinned to improve light penetration and air flow. Neighbouring Trees: Substantial pruning of overhanging branches to achieve a clearance of 2 metres from our property boundary, ensuring safe access and preventing encroachment.

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.
