Orchard House Shadwell Lane Leeds LS17 8AQ
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

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.
