Planning application
26/01161/TPO
Sandal Cricket Club Barnsley Road Wakefield WF2 6EE
Proposal
Sycamore Tree (ST1) - Remove basal epicormic growth and small epicormic stem shoots as identified within the submitted photographs. The Sycamore tree is within the grounds of Sandal Cricket Club bordering the boundary of the back garden of 13 Agbrigg Road WF26AA. I would like to trim growth at the base of the tree which is already impinging on access and if left unchecked will completely block access. It will have the added advantage of allowing the cricketers to find balls that enter this area. Prior to the TPO being placed on this tree, and with the consent of the cricket club, I trimmed this area every year. It has regrown every year so I see no impact of me continuing with this practice. I would also like to prune a couple of small, low branches no more than 2 metres off the ground. These branches restrict light into my property. Again prior to the TPO being placed on this tree, I have judiciously pruned the odd low, small branch as required but in the main every 4-5 years and regrowth has not been impacted. I have lived at 13 Agbrigg Road for more than 35 years and this routine maintenance has not damaged the overall health of the tree.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Wakefield 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.
