Planning application

23 Sotheron Croft Darrington Pontefract WF8 3AR

Refused Wakefield 21/01814/TPO Tree Preservation Order Consent

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T1, T2, T3 - Sycamores to be reduced by approximately 2m +/- to nearest growth point back towards the boundary line, this will still leave an overhang of approximately 1/1.5m but to limit the visual impact of any work would not be prepared to reduce the width any further. The trees are creating excess shading to the properties on Southern croft and a reduction to the width which would also reduce some of the thickness would help to reduce this issue.
