A property company plans to cut back trees that offer a “prime location” for birds to “perch and defecate” on people’s cars.
Town & City Management Ltd has submitted an application to Bradford Council for
permission to cut two metres of branches off a row of trees next to the visitors’ car park at the Limefield Mill development on Wood Street in Cross Flatts.
The application says the trees are popular with birds – and visitors to the site often find
droppings on their cars, and says the tree works will remove this “nuisance.”
It calls for the branches to be lopped back so they no longer overhang the visitor parking
spaces.
The residential building stands next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
The application says: “The branches are currently overhanging and it’s a prime location for
birds to perch and defecate on visitors’ cars, causing a nuisance.
“There is plenty of growth on the trees and so amenity will not be affected.”
A decision on the application is expected next month.
