Why it was refused
- Government guidance advises that, when determining an application, the authority should have regard to the reasons given for the proposed works and any supporting information put forward in support of it. In this case, the proposal seeks consent to prune trees overhanging the public highway following the failure of two boughs and on the basis that the trees are under stress as a result of prolonged dry weather. However, the application is insufficiently detailed, as it does not clearly identify the trees to be managed or provide a full and precise specification of the proposed works. Where works are proposed on the basis of a tree's condition, the applicant is required to provide clear written arboricultural advice or other diagnostic information from a suitably qualified expert.
From the council's decision notice.
