Summary
This application proposes a programme of tree works at a residential property on St Michaels Road. Works include removing deadwood and dead branch stubs, reducing the size of several Holly, Cherry, Hawthorn, and Magnolia trees, and completely removing two Laburnum trees. The applicant states the Laburnums are unstable at the base. The property sits in a dense part of Headingley surrounded by listed buildings. Eight listed structures sit within a couple of minutes' walk, including the Church of St Michael — a higher-grade listed building — about a minute's walk away. Headingley Parish Hall is directly adjacent to the site. Tree works near listed buildings can affect the character of their setting. The council will assess whether the proposed works preserve the heritage character of the area, but the works themselves are limited to one private garden.
