Why it was refused

  1. The Lawson Cypress is situated within the rear garden of 7 Rogers Ruff, the majority of its canopy can be seen from the public highway and it has not been pruned before and as a result has a crown typical of this species. As a result it has a high amenity value and significantly contributes to the arboreal character of the Copse wood estate an area of special local character. This application has been refused as no arboricultural justification has been provided, and no evidence has been included that shows the tree is causing damage. Previous application (77154/TRE/2024/162 and 77154/TRE/2023/260) were refused, and within the Officers Report it was noted that no exploratory work had been completed to confirm the belief that the tree is responsible for the damage, and root size had not been determined. We believe that the exploratory work undertaken to date does not directly implicate the tree to having caused the damage, and we are still are of the view that no argument has been provided to rule out alternatives to tree removal such as root pruning. The proposal to fell the tree is unjustified and will have a negative impact on the amenity of the area.
  2. The removal of deadwood, dangerous / hanging branches and ivy: This does not require the formal consent of the Council.
  3. Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981: Note that it is an offence under this act to disturb roosting bats, nesting birds or any other protected species. Therefore, if applicable, it is advisable to consult your tree surgeon / consultant to agree an acceptable time for carrying out the approved works.
