Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The reasons put forward relate principally to nuisance issues associated with the normal growth habit of mature trees and do not outweigh the public amenity benefits provided by the protected sycamore trees. The trees remain prominent features within the local landscape and their removal would result in an unacceptable loss of visual amenity and be contrary to the purpose of the Tree Preservation Order.
