Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works would involve severe topping, resulting in significant disfigurement of the trees. These trees have not previously been managed under a pollarding regime, and initiating such a practice at this stage would likely lead to tree decline or death. No formal assessment of tree condition was provided, and the supporting photographs indicate that the trees appear to be in reasonable health. The application makes no reference to symptoms of disease, structural defects, or infection. The proposal is not considered to represent good arboricultural practice and fails to provide adequate justification for the extent of works requested. Approval of such works would result in a substantial and negative impact on public amenity and the character of the area. Decision: Consent is refused. The proposed works are neither reasonable nor justified and would cause unnecessary harm to the trees and their visual contribution to the locality.
