Why it was refused
- Having regard to the reasons stated by the applicant, the Local Authority considers the proposed pruning works to be excessive and would likely result in a tree of poor form/shape that would offer a much reduced level of visual amenity. 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.
