Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works, combined with the recent construction works within the trees root protection areas, would result in detriment to the health of the trees, without any convincing arboricultural justification for doing so.
  2. The extent of the proposed works would result in visual detriment to the trees and to the visual amenity of the immediate locality to which they contribute.
  3. The proposal would set a precedent for works, which are detrimental to both the visual amenity and health of protected trees, to be carried out with no convincing arboricultural justification for doing so.

From the council's decision notice.
