Why it was refused
- Reason for Refusal The Agent has signed the forms and he is a tree care professional, on the Forms he has indicated that this tree is causing no damage nor is it at risk of either breaking or falling. The reasons to support the felling is to allow more light into the building and the fact that the tree 'has no real future in current location'. The tree is on the Northern boundary and the shade within the rear garden is caused by the house (see right hand image above) and the shading from this tree falls onto the field behind. The Agent does not state why the tree 'has no real future' and it is noted that the immediate area supports other larger trees. It is the Council's opinion that neither of the above reasons justifies the loss to amenity that would be caused by the removal of this tree.
From the council's decision notice.
