Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The proposed works appear to be primarily cosmetic in nature, and no clear arboricultural justification has been provided. On this basis, the works are not considered necessary for the ongoing management or health of the tree, and it would be preferable to allow a suitable period of recovery and regrowth before any further intervention is considered.
