Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works to the Oak in the front are considered excessive and will be of detriment to the tree and the character of the area. The works to the rear are exsesive The removal of Oak T2 is unacceptable and the issues could be resolved with formative pruning, No eveidence has been provided to justify the removal of T4 Scots Pine, and the other 5 trees shown for removal. The specification for the removal of the lowest limb on T6 is unacceptable as this will result in a large wound that could leave the tree open to disease. While there maybe areas where the Council could agree on some pruning and even removal the Council does not issue split decisions so the application is REFUSED. The council would be happy to meet on site to discuss a suitable specification.

From the council's decision notice.
