Elmete House Elmete Lane Roundhay Leeds LS8 2LJ
Proposal
T1 Horse Chestnut - At present the canopy is not uniform ranging from 1.5m to 4.5m above ground level. We propose to uniformly lift the canopy to 4.5m around the full tree. I estimate the tree is circa 15m in height, we would propose to reduce the height to 12m.. The tree canopy is now lower than the driveway gate thus preventing the gate to be opened fully.
