6 Elmete Grove Roundhay Leeds LS8 2JY
Proposal
We have a mature silver birch in the front garden of 6 Elmete Grove, LS8 2JY. The tree is against the garden wall and is higher than the house. The crown and west side of the tree have no new growth, while the south and east side only has minimal growth. We have consulted Leeds Tree Services who have advised that the tree should be taken down due to the significant decline in the health of the tree.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Leeds for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.

9 Elmete Grove Roundhay Leeds LS8 2JY
T1 large sycamore - Take the tree down after noticing a collection of what looked like mud where the trunk bifurcates about two feet from the ground. Probing with a stick I found a hole in the fork about a foot deep and quite wide filled with dark brown 'slurry'. If it should collapse it is large enough that there would be a significant risk of it hitting my house and, depending in which direction it went, there are three other properties it could hit.
