Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would remove a significant percentage of the canopy, to the detriment of tree condition and amenity value. The features noted by the agent do not provide compelling justification for this level of intervention. The lean is minor and historic and the tree is most likely compensating for this, based on physiological condition observed on site. The form is not so significantly unbalanced as to merit significant reduction at the east aspect.

From the council's decision notice.
