Why it was refused

  1. Reason for Refusal The proposal is to cut the trees back to 1m before the boundary which I have assumed is the wooden fence line. This would necessitate the removal of large portions of the canopy and would result in significant wounds being created. Such works may lead to the premature demise of the trees and a resulting loss in public amenity. Such works are not in accordance with best arboricultural practice as defined by BS3998 and are contrary to modern arboricultural methods such as target pruning. As the works are not good practice and would cause significant harm to the tree's health and amenity value they are not supported Your right to appeal

From the council's decision notice.
