14 Hamworth Drive Oakworth Keighley West Yorkshire BD22 0DS

Proposal

2x spruce trees that are approximately 30m tall. They are the two tallest trees in the rear garden of the application address and are located behind the pool area. They are situated in the south westerly corner of the garden to the rear of 14 Hamworth Drive, roughly 2m from the westerly garden boundary retaining wall and roughly 5m from the southerly wall backing onto the East Royd road. The trees are held within a small raised bed made from drystone walling. The roots are ingressing through the retaining wall and into the westerly neighbours property. Works to be carried out include felling of both trees down to ground level and removal of felled material from the land. From checking on the Bradford Council website it is clear that these trees are not registered with any TPOs. Reason for works is because the structural integrity of the retaining wall near the trees is now compromised and further damage would increase the risk of the trees falling in bad weather.
