Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- Insufficient arboricultural evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the removal of protected trees is necessary. While fungal fruiting bodies associated with Meripilus giganteus and Ganoderma applanatum are present, insufficient evidence has been provided regarding the extent of associated decay, structural impairment, likelihood of failure, overall risk level or consideration of alternative management options. The submitted report relies upon an inappropriate British Standard and does not provide the level of assessment and analysis reasonably expected to support the removal of protected trees. The Local Planning Authority is therefore not satisfied that the proposed works are justified.
