Why it was refused

  1. No arboricultural evidence has been provided to justify the removal of the two trees. To remove the trees without clear arboricultural justification would set a precedent for trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order to be removed, resulting in detriment to public amenity.

From the council's decision notice.
