Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in the removal of at least one established tree and involve significant and harmful works within root protection areas of two Category A trees that currently contributes positively to the visual amenity and green infrastructure within the area. As a result, the development would have a significant adverse effect on the health, integrity and public amenity value of the two Category A trees. It has not been demonstrated that the step-wise approach has been appropriately followed and in the absence of adequate compensatory measures across the whole scheme, the proposal would adversely affect the visual amenity of the area and fails demonstrate how the development would contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources, provide appropriate green infrastructure and ecological enhancements and how it protects, maintains and enhances biodiversity and the resilience of ecosystems. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies PS2, EU1, ER2, ER 9 and ER11 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025), the Trees, Hedgerows and Woodlands SPG (Adopted November 2021), Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12) and Future Wales.

From the council's decision notice.
