Planning application
17 St Andrews Croft Alwoodley Leeds LS17 7TP
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The roots of the Silver Birch in the front garden have ingressed under the drive of our neighbour at 15 St Andrews Croft. This has caused the slabs to become uneven and a trip hazard. The Aire Valley Tree Services has advised that the tree needs to be removed.
