Firs Farm Village Street Edwalton Nottinghamshire NG12 4AB

1. 1.The tree is considered to have significant public amenity value and makes a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, being taller than surrounding trees and publicly visible over a significant distance. No evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the tree is structurally unsound or is causing damage to property, contrary to the information requirements set out in section 8 of the application form, or that its continued retention would be unreasonable. Furthermore, less harmful alternatives to felling, including pruning works, have not be adequately explored and would appear reasonable to address the remaining concern of overshadowing such that overshadowing alone is not considered sufficient justification for the felling of the tree. The proposal is therefore deemed to have not demonstrated compliance with Policy 37 of the adopted Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies and guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
