Why it was refused
- Tree is large Oak tree. We would like to have this tree removed and replaced with a smaller tree. Consent is refused for the following reasons: The oak is in good outward condition and makes a moderate contribution to the amenity of the area. Its removal would result in the premature loss of a protected tree and would have a tangible adverse impact on the local landscape. The concerns regarding the tree's potential future size, proximity to residential properties and possible future management requirements do not demonstrate that the tree is structurally unsafe, causing damage or presenting an unacceptable level of risk. The proposed replacement planting would not adequately compensate for the immediate loss of the established tree. The proposed removal is therefore not justified, does not represent a proportionate response to the concerns raised and is contrary to the principles of sound arboricultural management.
From the council's decision notice.
