Planning application
Pinecroft Main Street Walton Wetherby LS23 7DJ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Removal of leylandii to front of Pinecroft Main Street Walton on left hand side of pedestrian gate as house is viewed from road. Tree is approaching utility wiring directly above it and is impacting our property due to excessive requirement for water and nutrients whilst giving nothing back. It is also a biodiversity graveyard and doesnt attract birds, mammals, or pollinators or other insects and we will replace it with two trees appropriate for the space and with a view to attracting greater variety of fauna and chosen to not impact ours or other peoples property. These will complement the street scape and nature of the smaller front garden we have created.

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.
