Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works are deemed excessive and do not conform to best arboricultural practice guidelines in 'BS3998 - Tree Work - Recommendations'. The tree has been reduced by 3 m within the past 12 months and further pruning at this time is highly likely to have a significant detrimental impact on the health of the tree, and therefore local character.

From the council's decision notice.
