Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient justification has been provided for the proposed works
  2. At the time of the Tree Officer’s site visit, no structural or physiological defects were detected that would justify the proposed felling works. Although individual branch damage was seen from the ground, these issues could more appropriately be managed with end weight reductions of these targeted limbs.
  3. This tree a prominent feature and notable contribution to the Edwyn Ralph tree scape. Its loss would be to the detriment of public amenity.
  4. The tree report provided as evidence in support of this fell recommendation states the tree’s physiological condition to be good and structural condition of the tree to be fair.
  5. It is recognised that this tree is imposing on the nearby property, this factor could more suitably be addresses with end weight reduction works to the lowermost branches extending towards the house. A crown clean would also be beneficial as the removal of crossed/rubbing limbs and deadwood would further mitigate against limb shedding in future high wind events.

From the council's decision notice.
