Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The proposed tree works are not considered to be sufficiently justified, as no clear arboricultural or safety benefit has been demonstrated. There is potential for the works to adversely affect the trees' structure, appearance, and their contribution to local amenity. In the absence of supporting evidence, the proposed works are considered inappropriate and do not meet the requirements for consent.
