Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works relate to the reduction of minor lower lateral branches. The tree currently has reasonable clearance from the adjacent dwelling and no evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the identified branches are causing damage, direct contact, or other material harm. The proposed works are therefore considered unnecessary and insufficiently justified, resulting in the unnecessary loss of healthy canopy without arboricultural benefit.

From the council's decision notice.
