Why it was refused
- In the absence of a tree survey, arboricultural impact assessment, tree constraints plan and root protection area information, insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed development could be undertaken without harm to adjacent trees. As such, due to lack of information, the proposal fails to demonstrate compliance with Chapter 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework, which seeks to conserve and enhance the natural environment and recognise the benefits of trees and woodland, together with Core Strategy Policy P10 and saved UDP Policy GP5.
From the council's decision notice.
