   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 29 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Leeds took a median of 52 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

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.

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.

  T1-T5 5 Ash trees - removal to ground level. According to guidance from the Leeds City Council Ash Dieback website, they appear to be a mix of Stage Class 3, with 25-50% canopy loss, and Stage 2, with 50-75% canopy dead, showing clear signs of crown decline. The risk to people is low as the trees are located at the edge of a field on private property. T6- Sycamore for removal to ground level. The removal is to allow more light to the pond and reduce leaf debris build up in the pond. The trees surrounding the pond to the north of the hall were planted by the owner several decades ago. While tree planting continues across the estate and around the pond, the immediate area has now become overstocked. The pond holds historical significance to the hall, having once served as a tannin pond. The owners? current priority is to remove five ash trees and one sycamore from around the pond to increase light penetration, reduce leaf debris accumulation, and facilitate its restoration. A large, mature oak will be preserved, along with select smaller, later-planted trees, to help define and frame the pond. Over the last few years a significant number of new trees have been planted to replace any trees that have had the need for removal, and this includes a new hawthorn hedge. New trees are grown from seed by the owner and planted out when they are at a stage to be able to survive. The owners goal is to plant as many trees as possible, and I believe this practice will continue until they?re no longer able to do so because of their age.
