Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is considered excessive and substandard. This work would be detrimental to the tree's physiological and structural condition and no robust evidence has been supplied to support the proposal. The tree is situated on LCC land. LCC does not allow members of the public or contractors to schedule works on Council-owned trees. The reason for this is that the Council cannot monitor work quality or health and safety standards. Working on a LCC tree without permission can result in a substantial fine and Criminal Damage charges. If there is an issue with a council owned tree, agents and applicants should contact tree.enquiries@leeds.gov.uk where their enquiry will be categorised and assigned to the relevant officer for inspection. Please read Officer Report available on LCC Public Access using the TR reference number.

From the council's decision notice.
