Orchard House Shadwell Lane Leeds LS17 8AQ

Split decision Leeds 25/04696/TR Tree Works

Works: Trees

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

G1 Sycamores - Reduce the row of trees (in height) identified by s2 on sketch plan to previous pruning points as has been done on these trees for the entire time that they have lived at this property. The reason for this is to allow direct light into the south facing aspect of their property. They recognise that in order to allow direct light into their garden they would need to reduce the sycamores more significantly which they have been persuaded against. The trees are in good health and have been pruned back to the same unions on a regular basis for the last 20 years and they would like to continue to do so to keep the height in check (at cost to them) becasue they value the trees. In terms of the reduction we would like to reduce the new growth which is approximately 2.5m

S1 and S2 - The other component of work is to reduce the two sycamores S1 and S2 on the plan down in height by 3m to match up with the neighbours sycamores which are a little lower and have historically been reduced on a regular basis
