Why it was refused

  1. T1 is a prominent protected tree, with an attractive form and public amenity value. Justification for the works would have to be compelling. No justification has been provided for the proposed works. Crown reduction is considered to be detrimental to the condition and amenity value of T1, with negligible and short-term benefits for the applicant.
