Why it was refused
- In accordance with Policy GI2 of the Cheltenham Plan, The Borough Council will resist the unnecessary felling of trees on private land, and the felling of a tree will be necessary only where it is dead, unsafe, or causing unacceptable harm to buildings or infrastructure. Insufficient evidence to that effect has been submitted to support the application. This decision notice should be read in accordance with the Planning Officer’s Report which details the material considerations relevant to the proposal and the reasons for the decision made.
From the council's decision notice.
