Why it was refused
- This level of work would seriously impact on the health and life span of this tree. Open cuts leave live wood vulnerable to spores that can lead to decay. A tree of this age and species has a very high amenity value and therefore the proposed works to the tree are unacceptable. Chief Planning Officer, Chorley Council Please read the notes attached to this notice carefully. They will help you to understand this decision, your rights and other things you may have to do. Further information is available at chorley.gov.uk/planning.
