Decision & conditions

Refused
Decision Notice
Planning conditions
  1. The application is refused as it relies on an outdated 2018 report and does not reflect the trees' current condition. Repeated reduction to previous pruning points is not considered best practice and would increase wounding, structural defects, and decay.
