Decision noticePlanning conditions
- After evaluating the amenity value of the tree and the potential impact of the proposed works on the area's overall amenity, I have determined that the application lacks justification based on the reasons provided. The stated concerns can be effectively addressed through alternative and more considered methods. Furthermore, the proposed work does not conform to BS3998:2010 Tree Work – Recommendations.
