Why it was refused

  1. The proposed removal of T1 Pine would result in the loss of a healthy, high- quality tree that makes a significant contribution to the character and visual amenity of the local area. The evidence provided does not justify removal, as the level of driveway disturbance is minor and does not outweigh the public benefit of retaining the tree. Alternative, lesser works such as selective reduction of lower lateral branches to improve clearance and access would be considered appropriate arboricultural management if submitted as a separate application.

From the council's decision notice.
