Decision Notice
Planning conditions
  1. The tree continues to provide significant amenity value and there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that it is dead, dangerous or beyond reasonable management. Alternative remedial measures, consistent with BS3998:2010, have not yet been exhausted and there remains a realistic prospect of recovery following improvement of the rooting environment. Accordingly, consent for the removal of the protected cedar is refused.
