Why it was refused

  1. The tree is clearly visible from public vantage points including Laburnum Close and Woodlinken Drive. It is part of a tree group of other Pine trees and Silver Birch trees which make a useful contribution to the visual amenities in this location. Whilst the tree leans slightly towards the dwelling, this is due to phototropic pressure caused by the presence of the other trees within the group. No dishing or heave to the ground surrounding the base of the tree was observed. This indicates that the lean has developed over a long period of time. No comprehensive written arboricultural advice (such as a tree report) has been submitted to support or justify the proposed tree work. Removal of the tree will be harmful to the visual amenity of this location and will have a detrimental effect on surrounding trees, exposing them to new wind forces and potentially reducing their safe retention span.

From the council's decision notice.
