Why it was refused
- The Beech; mature specimen of normal vigour which offers a good level of visual amenity to the locale. Having regard to the reasons stated by the applicant, the Local Authority considers the proposed pruning works to be excessive and would be detrimental to the health and amenity of the tree and unjustified. The proposal is therefore, contrary to good arboricultural practice and not in accordance with The Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
From the council's decision notice.
