Why it was refused
- The work is contrary to arboricultural good practice in that it would result in the unacceptable loss of a tree which is considered to be in a reasonably good condition at the time of inspection.
- The reason given to fell was due to size and weight, with included bark in the base. The tree undergoes scheduled formal inspections by Lancashire County Council and will continue to be monitored going forward. If any work is required, it will be as a result of those inspections.
- The owner of the tree has not been consulted prior to application and does not consent to the removal of tree due to high amenity value.
From the council's decision notice.
