Why it was refused
- The tree makes a significant contribution to the visual amenity of the area due to its prominence and visibility from public viewpoints. The reasons given for removal, relating to structural integrity and future risk, are not supported by sufficient arboricultural evidence to demonstrate that the tree presents an unacceptable risk to people or property. The application does not demonstrate that less harmful and more appropriate management options such as reduction rather than removal of the lowest limb have been fully considered in accordance with sound arboricultural practice. At this time, it is considered that the proposal could result in the unjustified loss of a protected tree, contrary to the purpose of the Tree Preservation Order.
From the council's decision notice.
