Awaiting decision Leeds 26/04769/TR Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1 Maple - Reduce the overall height of the tree and carry out a crown reduction by pruning back the canopy to provide suitable clearance from the buildings while maintaining a balanced natural shape. G1 Sycamores - Reduce the height by taking the tops out and prune back the longer lateral branches to lessen the overhang, maintaining a balanced canopy and suitable clearance. The maple has previously suffered storm damage, with several branches snapping off. It is now growing over the garden studio and extending towards the house. Reduce the overall height of the tree and carry out a crown reduction by pruning back the canopy to provide suitable clearance from the buildings while maintaining a balanced natural shape. Remove any damaged or defective branches as part of the works. G1 ? Sycamores The group of sycamores is causing excessive shading to the flats on the back lane and is overhanging the rear access lane (glebe terrace). Reduce the height by taking the tops out and prune back the longer lateral branches to lessen the overhang, maintaining a balanced canopy and suitable clearance.
