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.

    T1 Laburnum - Need to remove tree in my front garden which is partially fallen (grows initially along the ground rather than vertically). The tree does not fully flower and is not thriving. I will review and potentially plant a smaller tree. In addition I would like to prune or remove a smaller mahonia tree next to and tangled up with the laburnum. I think this will be ok to work on looking at the rules as the trunk is quite small however I wanted to check. The holly on the corner of the plot will remain

    T1 and T2 Silver Birch, G3 Portuguese Laurels, G4 Sycamores, G5 Mixed species saplings Remove all of the above to ground level. Reason: This group of vegetation close to the house limits usable space within the garden and forms a dark, imposing mass due to heavy leans from silver birch trees. Birch have also been poorly managed in the past through 'topping'. Sycamores have self set next to the boundary wall and will cause direct damage if left to mature. Overall, none of the trees highlighted for removal are worth of tree preservation order.
