Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the protected tree is responsible for the alleged damage to boundary structures or the adjacent pavement. No structural, engineering, or arboricultural reports have been provided to substantiate the claims made or to demonstrate that alternative remedial solutions have been considered and discounted. The tree was found to be in good condition with no significant structural defects, and its removal would result in the unnecessary loss of a protected tree that contributes to local amenity. The Council is therefore not satisfied that the proposed felling is justified. Accordingly, the proposed felling is considered unjustified and contrary to the objectives of the Tree Preservation Order. Development Manager (Authorised Officer of the Council) NB. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE NOTES ATTACHED (RIGHTS OF APPEAL, ETC) YOUR RIGHT OF APPEAL: If you, as the appellant disagree with the decision of the Local Planning Authority, you can

From the council's decision notice.
