Why it was refused

  1. Consent is hereby REFUSED to: T1 - Silver Birch - Fell Reasons: The Silver Birch (T1) is a visually prominent tree of good form that is clearly visible from Kingsmead and surrounding public vantage points. It makes a positive and meaningful contribution to the character and appearance of the local area and the wider street scene and is therefore considered to have at least moderate to good, and potentially high, amenity value. The tree stands within the area covered by Tree Preservation Order TPO.754, which was made in 1973. An area designation protects those trees that were present at the time the Order was made. The application asserts that the tree post-dates the Order; however, no evidence has been submitted to substantiate this claim. In the absence of clear and convincing evidence to demonstrate otherwise, the Local Planning Authority must proceed on the basis that the tree is protected and assess the proposal accordingly. The proposed felling would result in the complete loss of the tree and its contribution to the visual amenity of the locality, resulting in harm to the character and appearance of the area. Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the tree is in such condition, or poses such a risk, as to justify its removal. No arboricultural evidence has been submitted to substantiate any structural defects, decline, or management necessity. As a result, the proposal fails to demonstrate that the works are necessary or proportionate. In the absence of adequate justification, and having regard to the amenity value of the tree and the proposed works are considered unjustified. N.B. For detailed information regarding this decision please refer to the officer report which can be accessed online through the council's website via the planning application viewer.
