Why it was refused
- Reasons Condition 4 The following documents/plans have been considered and are the Refused Details relevant to this condition: - Arboricultural Method Statement and Impacts Assessment The Tree Officer has been consulted on the above information, with their responses set out on the Council's website. In consideration of this advice, the details submitted are not acceptable and fail to be in conformity with the reasons and policy requirements of the condition for the following refusal reasons: - The submittd information does not adequately assess all potential impacts on existing trees, fails to provide sufficient justification for the removal of eleven trees, lacks detailed methodologies for proposed mitigation measures including protective fencing, ground protection, phased protection approaches and floating concrete foundations, omits adequate arrangements for arboricultural supervision and monitoring, and does not include sufficiently detailed proposals for replacement planting or landscaping This condition is therefore not discharged. To address the reasons for the refusal of this condition submission, you will need to submit to the Local Planning Authority a revised application fully addressing the refusal reasons.
