Why it was refused
- The proposed removal of the protected Sycamore tree has not been adequately justified. Insufficient arboricultural evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the tree requires felling. The tree makes a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area and its removal would result in the unjustified loss of a protected amenity tree. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies LP14 and LP16 of the North Warwickshire Local Plan and Policy N2 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
From the council's decision notice.
