Why it was refused
- There is insufficient justification for tree removal and as the tree(s) make(s) a positive contribution to amenity the proposal would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area. The Council recognises the need for periodic works to some trees to maintain a reasonable relationship between trees and property and would be happy to consider an application for works should this be appropriate.
From the council's decision notice.
