Summary
The applicant proposes to remove several branches from one silver birch tree. The application does not say that the whole tree would be removed. The tree stands in the historic part of Nether Poppleton. Hall Garth, a protected old building, is directly adjacent. Three other protected old buildings are about a 1-minute walk away. Only 13 nearby property fronts have a clear view towards the site. Buildings screen another 152 property fronts, though some rear windows or gardens may still have views.
What you can do
Comments can be sent to City of York Council under reference 26/01373/TCA. Explain any effect on the tree, nearby protected old buildings, or the look of this historic area. The council cannot consider private property values.
