Why it was refused

  1. To remove T1 would result in the loss of significant amenity value as well as causing a negative impact on the immediate landscape character of the area.
  2. Due to the location of T1 I was unable to ascertain an accurate DBH but would estimate this to be approximately 1.5 metres which would indicate a tree age of approximately 250yrs.
  3. There is no indication to suggest that the tree is unsafe - no reports referring to the structural integrity of the tree have been provided by the applicant.
  4. No reports to confirm the presence of suspected subsidence has been provided by the applicant - information regarding what evidence we would require was identified during the site meeting.
  5. There is no indication of basal decay present.
  6. The canopy of the tree shows good levels of vitality - leaves of being of suitable size and colour - inner canopy present.
  7. No fungal fruiting bodies were observed during the assessment - only small diameter deadwood being present within the canopy.
  8. No signs associated with Acute Oak Decline were observed.
  9. No fluxing was observed within the trunk or major first order scaffold unions.
  10. There were no open cavities observed during the VTA however there are well occluded wounds present on the trunk due to the loss of lower first order lateral branches.
