Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The supporting written arboricultural advice concludes that the tree in question is in fair physiological condition with no structural defects observed at the base of the tree, but with a gradual decline in vigor. The recommendation is for deadwood management and ongoing monitoring. The tree is not considered to be of 'excessive age'. The presence of damage to built structures is made, but no written technical evidence from an appropriate expert has been submitted. The loss of this tree is considered an excessive course of action at this time, when alternative options are available. The loss of this tree will have a negative impact on local amenity.
From the council's decision notice.
