Planning application
To The Rear Of 26 Gay Lane Otley LS21 1BR
Works: Trees Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 and T2 Sycamore - Fell both trees to ground level. - These trees are situated in very close proximity to the boundary fence and offer low amenity value due to their location within a car park, surrounded by buildings. Their removal will allow the area to be utilised more effectively and will significantly improve light levels and visibility for neighbouring properties. G1 and G2 rows of Mixed Hawthorn, Ivy, saplings, and shrubbery - Prune all overhanging branches back to the boundary line. Retain current height - This work is intended to tidy the area, improve its visual appearance, and create a more manageable and structured row of mixed hedging along the boundary.
