Why it was refused
- The information submitted in support of the application is insufficient to demonstrate that the protected Willow tree is the direct cause of the alleged subsidence or that felling is necessary to address the issue. The documentation provided comprises a remedial works proposal and does not include adequate structural, geotechnical or arboricultural evidence, such as crack monitoring data, soil analysis, root identification, foundation information, or a structural engineer's assessment, to establish a clear causal relationship between the tree and the reported damage. In the absence of such evidence, the proposed removal of the protected tree is not justified and would result in an unacceptable loss of amenity.
From the council's decision notice.
