Why it was refused

  1. The proposal to reduce T22 (Oak) by up to 5 metres would result in a significant and harmful loss of canopy and visual presence and materially harm the tree's contribution to the character and visual amenity of the area. The tree is readily visible from the public domain and makes a positive contribution to the street scene. Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the extent of works proposed is necessary or justified. The reasons given relate primarily to shading and general overgrowth, which do not justify such a level of reduction. The proposed works are therefore excessive and unacceptable. 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.

From the council's decision notice.
