Planning application
12 The Spinney Wetherby LS22 6SH
Works: Trees
Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.
Proposal
T1 Beech: Fell. T2, T3 Beech: Crown lift to 5m, maximum pruning cuts of 40mm to remove regrowth. T4, T6, T7 Sycamore: Crown lift to 5m, to remove regrowth. T5 Beech: Lateral reduction to the red line shown in the attached photo, maximum pruning cuts of 70mm. Large wound at the rear of the trunk, rot set in. This lateral reduction of the extended canopy would take some pressure off this weakness, push the branches back into the tree line and benefit the lawn underneath.

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.
