Why it was refused
- The proposed works would result in excessive pruning of a protected tree that makes a significant contribution to the character and visual amenity of the area. Insufficient arboricultural evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the extent of the proposed pollarding is necessary or justified. The works would materially harm the tree's form and amenity value and are therefore contrary to the objectives of the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations 2012.
