Why it was refused

  1. Proposed crown reduction is considered to be detrimental to the condition and amenity value of T1, creating an unnatural compact form as opposed to the relatively natural recovered form of the tree. Proposed crown reduction has not been justified by applicant/agent. The Council will be happy to consider a future application that is supported with justification and, if required, relevant technical information.

From the council's decision notice.
