Why it was refused

  1. The application fails to provide adequate justification for the proposed works, which are likely to have an adverse impact on public amenity. The suggested crown reduction and crown thinning would be contrary to the guidance set out in BS 3998:2010 (Tree Work - Recommendations). Such works are considered detrimental to the health, structural integrity, and overall amenity value of the trees.

From the council's decision notice.
