Planning application
Leeds University Student Union Lifton Place Woodhouse Leeds LS2 9JZ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1497 Opposite the Old Bar Maple (TPO1992_011): Union 5m has failed with the wound facing away from the public space. There now appears to be a crack forming between the two remaining limbs which overhang the footpath. Reduce limbs to below union. Remaining 0.5m of the stem should be retained to prevent a large pruning wound close to the main union bowl. LCC OFFICER NOTE: T1497: Crown reduce by up to 2 metres in height, and up to 1.5 metres at west aspect. Due to history of union failure and potential exposure over high confluence area. Also crown reduce G1 by up to 1.5 metres in height (2x trees adjacent to T1497, detailed in Officer Report and on Public Access) T1973 St George's Field Chestnut (CA No 39): Fell T1976 Outside Botany House Maple (CA No 39): Fell T511 28 Springfield Mount Ash (CA No 39): Fell and replace.
