Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient evidence has been submitted to enable the proposed works to be adequately assessed or justified. In the absence of arboricultural information, the proposals could lead to unnecessary works or the removal of trees, resulting in an adverse impact on the visual amenity of the site and the surrounding area. Such harm would be contrary to the purpose of the Tree Preservation Order. The proposed works are therefore not considered to comply with Policy QOP 4 of the Northumberland Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
