Why it was refused

  1. The severity and extent of the proposed works are not supported by adequate arboricultural evidence to demonstrate that they are necessary or appropriate. In the absence of such justification, the works would be detrimental to the amenity value of the protected trees and would conflict with the objectives of the Tree Preservation Order, which is to protect trees that make a positive contribution to the amenity of the area. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and consent is refused.

From the council's decision notice.
