Why it was refused
- The Sycamore (T1 of TPO No. 217 / 2007) is visually prominent from public places and provides noteworthy amenity value to the immediate surroundings. The felling proposed under this application is stated by the applicant to address a perception of potential damage to the boundary wall, and shade cast on the garden of 337 High Street and its neighbours. No evidence was submitted to demonstrate the likelihood or scale of potential damage, and the relationship between the tree and the amenity space could be readily managed via pruning. The application is therefore refused on the grounds that the proposed felling will result in substantial harm to public amenity, and the reasons for the works are not proportionate to the harm.
