Whitebeam is normally farily robust. Leaves can be affected by various pests and diseases, such as greenflies and leaf spots. Heavy ground might have become sodden with water and the whitebeam is tree that likes well-drianed ground.
It the ground is wet, try to improve the run -off of water from the area… open drains that might be blocked.
