Decision
Awaiting decision

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

Mature Beech Tree (Fagus sylvatica) reduce the overall canopy by approximately 40% pruning back to suitable growth points. Tree Description Mature Beech tree approximately 18m in height with an 18m canopy spread, located on the boundary of a car park and a busy student pedestrian access route. Observations * Recent significant limb failure resulting in substantial tear-out and damage. * Main stem forks at approximately 3m above ground level. * Southern stem contains multiple tight secondary forks and compressed unions exhibiting included bark. See photo 4,5,6 & 7 * Large lateral limb extends over the adjacent car park and pedestrian route. * The recent limb failure has significantly altered canopy balance and increased exposure to wind loading. * Remaining scaffold limbs are subject to increased mechanical stress due to the loss of canopy mass on one side of the crown. * Ongoing risk of further branch failure from weakly attached unions and redistributed loading within the canopy. Recommendation Reduce the overall canopy by approximately 40%, pruning back to suitable growth points where practicable. See photo 1 & 3 Justification * Significantly reduce end weight and wind loading on compromised scaffold limbs. * Mitigate the risk of further failure associated with included bark unions and compressed forks. * Rebalance the crown following the recent major limb loss. * Reduce the likelihood of branch failure over the adjacent car park and heavily used pedestrian route. * Retain the tree where possible while managing foreseeable risk to site users and property.
