Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Leylandii hedge - 11 trees - Fell to ground level The hedge is in poor condition due to historic mismanagement and lack of appropriate maintenance. There is extensive internal dieback throughout the hedge, with several trees (approximately 4, potentially more) confirmed dead and others in clear decline. The hedge has become sparse and structurally inconsistent, with significant areas of dead material and reduced screening value. It no longer functions effectively as a healthy or appropriate boundary feature. There is established screening from a neighbouring beech hedge to the rear, meaning removal will not result in a significant loss of privacy or visual amenity. Replacement planting will include three native trees comprising Silver Birch, Sorbus and native Crab Apple. In addition, approximately 40 metres of mixed native hedging has already been established along the site boundaries, with a further mixed native hedge proposed along the line of the removed Leylandii to provide a more sustainable, biodiverse and appropriate long-term boundary treatment.

16 South Close Guiseley Leeds LS20 8JD
T1 - Felling of Goat Willow Tree - (approximately 30 feet high) and according to the tree surgeon who came round, its trunk is liable to splitting, due to how the trunk has grown over the years. It is very close both our house and the boundary with our neighbours. He also says that it will potentially be damaging our foundations due to how close it is to the house (about 3 metres). Therefore we would like to remove this tree and replace it for something more suitable for its position near our house.
