Why it was refused

  1. This tree is a prominent landscape feature in the locality and as such contributes significantly to public amenity consequently the grounds for its removal must be weighed against the amenity it provides.
  2. There was not enough evidence submitted with the application to definitively show the tree poses any abnormal health and safety concerns. However, should additional evidence come to light the Council would be happy to consider a new application supported by this.
  3. There was insufficient evidence submitted with application with regards to investigation into alternative methods of remedial action.
  4. Whilst the tree does seem to be suffering, resulting in multiple dead branches, it would not be considered to be at a dangerous level of decline and alternative remedial action such as the removal of dead wood could remove any risks of dropping branches. The tree can then be monitored for further signs of decline from this point.

From the council's decision notice.
