Planning application

24 Oulton Lane Woodlesford Leeds LS26 8NL

Granted Leeds 25/05864/TR Tree Works

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Silver Birch - Seeking permission to get cut down, the tree would need to be cut down for the following reasons: Not a suitable tree for a garden and is more usually found in a woodland setting and was quite surprised to see it in our garden. The trunk splints into 2 about a foot from the ground meaning the tree is made up of 2 different trunks, his opinion is that as the tree gets older and taller and the 2 different trunks get thicker at the base it will cause a risk in regards to one pushing the other and either trunk falling down or becoming unstable in the wind as he advised that this species of tree grows very quickly and the height of the tree could be considerably higher in 10 or so years. Due to the problem of the two trunks and risk of either one falling down in high winds, with the existing height of the tree and the proximity to my property there is a possible risk that this could fall down on my conservatory and cause damage to my property. As the tree is also on the border of mine and my neighbours property the roots of the tree are starting to show above the ground and are becoming a trip hazard, and as both myself and my neighbours have young children this is becoming more and more a worry for safety.
