Why it was refused
- T1 is in good condition, and is prominent from the highway with amenity value. Justification for removal would have to be compelling. There is no technical justification for the removal of T1, including no arboricultural evidence and no evidence of damage to structures. T1 is not significantly negatively impacting adjacent trees. T1 is in a garden. That it is not the same species at the broadleaved avenue in the highway is not relevant. Roundhay Conservation Area has many alternative tree species in private gardens that often make a positive contribution to the character and diversity of the area. Proposed replacement planting is appreciated, but a newly planted heavy standard will not provide adequate compensation for an established mature tree. In the absence of compelling justification, removal of T1 is not supported Your right of Appeal If you, as applicant, are aggrieved by the Council’s decision, you can
