Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

TPO79 - Silver Birch - Felling of tree. Reasons: 1. The tree is situated very close to the house and has led to ongoing issues with squirrels and other wildlife accessing the roof and, more recently, entering the property. Its dense canopy also significantly reduces natural daylight to both the house and garden. 2. The tree's roots have displaced the adjacent pathway and paving slabs, creating a trip hazard and making the area more difficult to maintain. Continued root growth is likely to cause further damage over time. 3. TPO79 is located only a few metres from two larger protected trees, TPO78 and TPO80, whose crowns and branches already overlap with it. Removing TPO79 would reduce competition for space, light, water and nutrients, while retaining the overall tree cover and amenity value of the area. See case for more details.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed removal of T79, a mature Silver Birch protected by a Tree Preservation Order, would result in the loss of a tree that makes a significant contribution to the visual amenity, character and appearance of the area. The reasons in support of the application, including minor root-related displacement of adjacent hard surfaces, branch proximity to the dwelling, reduction in daylight and wildlife access to the property, do not constitute sufficient arboricultural or amenity grounds to justify the permanent loss of the tree. Appropriate alternative management measures are available to address these concerns whilst retaining the protected tree.

From the council's decision notice.
