Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The proposed crown reduction would remove a substantial amount of the live crown of a prominent protected Oak tree, that makes a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area. Insufficient arboricultural justification has been provided to demonstrate that the extent of the proposed works is necessary or proportionate. The works are considered excessive and would have a detrimental impact on the tree's visual amenity and public contribution.
From the council's decision notice.
