Why it was refused

  1. The hardstanding has been installed directly within the Root Protection Areas of several mature and high value trees, including Category A TPO protected specimens T21, T6 and T5. The submitted Arboricultural Impact Assessment confirms “significant encroachment into the Root Protection Area of T21” and identifies that the Type 1 hardcore surface “presents a clear risk of root desiccation and soil compaction”. Photographic evidence shows hardcore laid directly against the stem of T21. The development therefore causes demonstrable arboricultural harm and fails to safeguard important natural assets, contrary to Strategic Policy

From the council's decision notice.
