Rowan tree to be felled and oak branch reduced at Moortown home

Summary

The application covers two trees in the garden of 25 Tall Trees, Moortown. The applicant wants to fell a rowan tree (T1) because its root plate is unstable — causing the tree to move in the wind — and because its shape is considered poor and likely to fail. They also want to shorten one low branch on an oak tree (T2) by about two metres, keeping around six metres of branch, to reduce how far it stretches toward a neighbouring property. The property sits on a residential street in Moortown, Leeds. Around 124 homes are within a short distance of the site. Primley Wood Primary School is a couple of minutes' walk away.
