Why it was refused
- Sufficient grounds to justify the proposal have not been established and the Council therefore does not consider the works to be warranted.
- The proposed works are considered potentially detrimental to the amenity value and continued health of the tree. In consideration of the above, the proposal would be contrary to South Staffordshire District Council’s adopted Core Strategy Policy EQ4: Protecting and Enhancing the Character and Appearance of the Landscape.
From the council's decision notice.
