Why it was refused

  1. The application proposes the felling of a tree protected by Tree Preservation Order No. 76/73/MCC. In the absence of an arboricultural report or other supporting evidence demonstrating that the tree is dead, dangerous, diseased, in decline, or otherwise warrants removal, the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that there is sufficient justification for the loss of the protected tree. The proposal would result in the unjustified removal of a tree which contributes to the visual amenity and character of the area and is therefore contrary to the advice contained in Planning Policy Wales, Supplementary Planning Guidance LDP4: Trees and Development and Policy CW6 of the Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021 - Adopted November 2010. The Council hereby certifies that it is satisfied that this refusal is in the interests of good forestry/arboriculture that the trees described in the said application have an outstanding or special amenity value.

From the council's decision notice.
