Why it was refused

  1. Whilst the council acknowledges that the tree is causing damage to the adjacent driveway surface and kerb stones, the information submitted does not justify the removal of a prominent and highly valued protected tree. Furthermore, no significant structural or physiological defects have been identified that would warrant removal on arboricultural grounds. Alternative management options, including crown reduction to reduce end weight and loading on the principal stems is an option that would allow the retention of the tree and its amenity value. Should the agent/applicant wish to apply for lesser works, a separate application would be required and will be considered on its own merits, without prejudice to this decision.

From the council's decision notice.
