Why it was refused
- Insufficient evidence has been submitted to justify the proposed felling of the pine tree and the removal of this tree would unnecessarily have an adverse effect upon the visual amenity of the area, which is contrary to the purpose of the Tree Preservation Order. The proposed works are therefore not considered to be in accordance with Policy QOP 4 of the Northumberland Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
