Planning application

26/03170/TR

Leeds University Student Union Lifton Place Woodhouse Leeds LS2 9JZ

Granted Leeds Tree Works

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.

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
