Why it was refused
- The tree is a healthy specimen, and its removal would be contrary to policies JP-G1 and JP-G7 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, Safeguarding trees, woodlands and hedgerows in that it would result in the unacceptable tree loss, to the detriment of the character, appearance and amenity of the surrounding area.
From the council's decision notice.
