Planning application
23 Sotheron Croft Darrington Pontefract WF8 3AR
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.
