Why it was refused
- Insufficient arboricultural justification or technical diagnostic information has been submitted to support the application to confirm that the subject tree is likely to be structurally unsafe or dangerous. From a visual inspection carried out at ground level only, there did not appear to be any obvious major defect that would allow a decision of approval for what is a visually prominent tree that is of fair structural condition, health and vitality. The proposal would be contrary to criteria (i) of policy NE15 (Special Trees, Important Hedgerows and Ancient Woodlands) of the adopted Winchester District Local Plan 2020- 2040.
- The Corsican Pine tree (T2) contributes to the green and verdant character and amenity of the area. The proposed work to remove this tree would be detrimental to the green and verdant character, and amenity of the area. 26/01452/TPO The grounds for the proposal are not supported by sufficient evidence in support of the proposal, The proposed work would therefore be unwarranted and unjustified. The proposal would be contrary to criteria (ii) of policy NE9 (Landscape Character) of the adopted Winchester District Local Plan 2020- 2040.
From the council's decision notice.
