Why it was refused

  1. No failure criteria or risk analysis has been submitted to justify that a 4m reduction in height and 2m lateral reduction is necessary at this time. The tree is considered to provide significant public amenity value and the proposed reduction would reduce this value.

From the council's decision notice.
