Why it was refused
- The Council's site inspection found that the overhanging branches do not constitute an actionable nuisance. The application lacks sufficient detail and is unsupported by arboricultural evidence. The proposed works are therefore considered unnecessary, unjustified, and likely to have a detrimental impact on the tree's amenity value. Development Manager (Authorised Officer of the Council) NB. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE NOTES ATTACHED (RIGHTS OF APPEAL, ETC).
From the council's decision notice.
