Why it was refused
- 1. Failure to provide sufficient arboricultural evidence On the information submitted, the application fails to demonstrate that coppicing the protected Bay tree to ground level is necessary or proportionate. London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ The application is not supported by clear photographs, an arboricultural report, tree condition assessment, decay investigation, structural assessment, or other technical evidence demonstrating the condition, defects, risk level, management need, or suitability of the tree for coppicing. BS 3998:2010 defines coppicing as cutting trees close to ground level with the intention of encouraging regrowth of multiple shoots. In this case, the proposed works would remove the existing above-ground structure and current canopy contribution of the protected tree. The submitted information does not demonstrate that the tree is subject to an established coppice management regime or that it is otherwise suitable for this level of intervention.
From the council's decision notice.
