Planning application
St Wilfrids Church Main Street Pool In Wharfedale Otley LS21 1LH
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Weeping Ash - Undertake re-pollarding back to previous pollard points to reduce end-weight, remove potentially unstable secondary growth, and manage risk of limb failure T2 Cherry - Fell both cherry trees to ground level and remove all arisings from site. T3 Mature Cherry - Remove lowest limb extending into Yew tree to reduce competition and avoid future damage. Draw back scaffold limb with mechanical damage by approx. 3m to suitable secondary growth points. Draw back canopy from church gable end to achieve a minimum clearance of 3m. Remove deadwood and minor crossing/rubbing branches throughout canopy. Continue with periodic inspection to monitor for decline or further mechanical stress.

There is only one large tree in my garden. I will get a tree surgeon to do the works rather than doing it myself. It is not a main branch, just a thin one that has sagged/growing downwards and will soon be at head height. I can provide photos of the tree and the branch in question.
