Beech tree at Spinney House proposed for pruning to deter squirrels

Summary

The owner of Spinney House wants to cut back a beech tree by around 2.5 to 3 metres at the front of the property. The aim is to remove branches that squirrels are using to access the building. This is a prune, not a removal. The tree would be cut back to healthy growing points so it can carry on growing normally. The work would be at the front of the property on The Spinney in Wetherby. The impact of this work is expected to be very small. It affects a single tree and does not change the use of the land or the building in any other way.
