Why it was refused

  1. The proposed felling of the protected tree would result in the unacceptable loss of a significant arboricultural and visual asset. Its removal would materially harm the character, appearance and amenity value of the local area.
  2. The application fails to provide robust technical evidence demonstrating that the tree is either structurally unsound, causing verified and irreparable damage, or in irreversible physiological decline. In the absence of conclusive arboricultural or engineering information to justify felling, the Council is not satisfied that removal is necessary or proportionate.
