Planning application
16 Beeches End Boston Spa Wetherby LS23 6HL
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 grand Fir - Fell. The tree is an unsuitable species for this position and completely dominates the rear garden of the property. Seek to replace with 1 or 2 smaller native species such as Rowan, Hawthorn or Field Maple T2 grand Fir - Fell. The tree is a wholly unsuitable species for such a position and dominates the rear garden. Also much of its canopy overhangs the garden of the neighbouring property. It has been severely 'topped' in the past and this has distorted the subsequent growth of the crown. Seek to replace with 1 or 2 smaller native species as with T1 above

6 Chestnut End Boston Spa Wetherby LS23 6JG
T1 Maple - Evenly crown thin by approximately 15%, lift the lower crown to achieve a 4 metre clearance from ground level, remove any crossing branches and major dead wood and remove any storm damaged hanging limbs. Reason: historically the tree's had a full crown reduction and now has an overcrowded canopy with lots of crossing branches that need attention to maintain a healthy tree, obvious storm damaged limbs and dead wood as a result of the past pruning also needing attention. G1 Plum group - Remove the dead Plum tree from the group, remove the plum growing against the garage wall generated from an old stump. Reduce the remaining Plum tree by approximately 3 metres in height and 1.5 metres in width. Reason - dead tree in the group to remove, re-generative growth from an old stump will potentially cause damage to the garage to remove and the reduction of the remaining tree is to tidy for aesthetical reasons after the other two removals. Replanting - The area where the tree is to be removed is densely covered with mature shrubs and the tree removal is within a metre of the retained tree so not a lot of room for a replacement but if necessary can I suggest re-planting with a standard size Birch somewhere near by.
