Why it was refused

  1. The proposed removal of T1 and T2 Oaks is unjustified and contrary to the interests of amenity. The trees are prominent features within a linear group that contributes significantly to the character and appearance of the street scene and wider landscape. Both trees appear to be in good physiological and structural condition, exhibiting normal vigour, with no evidence of defects or damage requiring removal. Whilst T2 shows limited encroachment toward a pedestrian gate post, this is considered to be normal adaptive growth and does not warrant felling. Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that reasonable alternative solutions have been explored, and no clear justification has been given for the removal of T1. Additionally, the intention to construct a new boundary is not, in itself, a valid arboricultural reason for removal. The loss of these trees would result in harm to local amenity and the collective value of the tree group.

From the council's decision notice.
