Why it was refused

  1. Consent was issued in 2022 – P/22/0038/TO and 2023 – P/23/1202/TO. There has only been two seasons regrowth since the last approved tree works were undertaken. Such frequent repeat pruning is unnecessary and continually removes live branch work before the tree has been able to produce sufficient regrowth post pruning to maintain a healthy crown to root ratio for this mature tree. The proposed pruning will result in multiple pruning wounds and the removal of energy storage and photosynthetic parts of the tree, which will have an adverse impact on a tree’s vitality.
