Summary
The application proposes removing seven trees from the garden of 43 Moorway — a Sycamore, a Silver Birch, three small Ash trees, an Oak, and a Rowan described as having significant decay. Several other trees, including a Cotoneaster, two Holly shrubs, two Rowans, a Beech, and an Oak, are proposed to have their crowns cut back. The property sits in a residential part of Guiseley with around 134 homes within a few minutes' walk. Tranmere Park Primary School is also a few minutes' walk away, and Green Meadows and Guiseley schools are close by. Whether these trees are protected — either by a Tree Preservation Order or by being inside a conservation area — is not confirmed by available data. The council's system has flagged a possible requirement for a Heritage Impact Assessment, which may suggest the site is within a conservation area. This could affect whether some or all of this work needs formal approval.
