Why it was refused
- The proposed felling would result in the unnecessary loss of a healthy tree that makes a positive contribution to the character, appearance and environmental quality of the area.
- No arboricultural evidence has been provided to demonstrate structural instability, decline or hazard that would justify removal, contrary to the expectations of the Planning Practice Guidance.
- The reasons given for the works are insufficient and disproportionate to the level of harm that would arise from the tree's loss, and a replacement planting would not mitigate this harm within any reasonable timeframe.
From the council's decision notice.
