Why it was refused
- The evidence provided to substantiate that the tree is compromised is an image of a screwdriver within an open cavity; the cavity in question shows significant wound wood development around its perimeter and does not extend to a diameter that seriously compromises the stability of the trunk due to potential fracture - there is no indication of the depth of the cavity referred to.
- There are no structural cues (swellings/ concave depressions) to suggest that the tree is suffering from any form of creeping failure to its trunk.
- The tree appears to be well adapted to its open position and was likely planted as an individual specimen when the properties were built, however the canopy is significantly weighted to the Southwest.
- The canopy is formed on 3 main first order scaffolds; the bases of which are good examples of tension forks.
- In my opinion there is inadequate evidence provided at present to warrant the removal of this tree.
From the council's decision notice.
