Proposal
T2 Oak - Formally request to fell and remove. The tree in question has become significantly larger raising safety concerns since the last application in 2021. This oak has outgrown its place within a garden environment with branches and foliage so low to the ground. As per last appeal, LCC states that if the removal of the oak is allowed it shall be replaced by 1 no Oak planted of 2.7m planted on site with suitable space around it, which is the intention

What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
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.

Willow House 2 Keswick Court Bardsey Leeds LS17 9PG
T1 - Weeping Willow (Salix Babylonica). Proposed Works: Reduce only the north-western overhang laterally by approximately 2-3 metres to suitable pruning points. The tree currently exhibits a significant lean towards the garden and has several substantial limbs overhanging both 1 and 2 Keswick Court. During my initial inspection, I observed visual indications of a minor fracture beginning to develop on one of the main limbs, which may eventually fail. This is of particular concern given that willow trees are well known for their tendency to shed limbs. From a professional arboricultural perspective, the tree may also benefit from a pollard in the future to encourage more manageable regrowth, improve overall structure and shape, and help reduce the likelihood of significant limb failure.
