Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works to the protected Ash tree (T1) (TPO No. 7 of 1954) are unjustified, as limb removal would cause significant harm to the tree’s structure and health, and will likely lead to further need for tree works. Insufficient information has been provided to justify the works and their necessity, or if less harmful alternatives solutions have been explored.

From the council's decision notice.
