Proposal

The roots of the Silver Birch in the front garden have ingressed under the drive of our neighbour at 15 St Andrews Croft. This has caused the slabs to become uneven and a trip hazard. The Aire Valley Tree Services has advised that the tree needs to be removed. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 7

Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; National infrastructure project: Calderdale Energy Park, at pre-application; Inside the Leeds (Leeds) built-up area; Priority habitat about 19 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
