Why it was refused

  1. The tree, a mature Oak, appears to be in good health and condtion. Although the tree leans towards the property no information has been supplied that indicates it is at risk of failure. Removal of the lowest limb back to the main stem would create a potential entery point for decay into the main stem. However, the council has the powers to consent a lesser form of works and gives consent to reduce the lower limb by upto 3 metres, and reduce the height and spread by upto 3 metres. If you would like any further information about our decision please contact Alex Laurie the Trees and Woodlands Officer for this application, quoting the reference number given above.

From the council's decision notice.
