Why it was refused
- The proposed works would be unnecessary and would result in significant harm to the protected tree, which would have a significant detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the protected tree and the surrounding area. By virtue of these factors, the proposal would be contrary to, and in conflict with, Policy DM10 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016), Policies 2 and 12 of the Burbage Neighbourhood Plan (2021) and Paragraph 136 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
From the council's decision notice.
