Decision & conditions
2082226_Tree_Decision_WTPO_Refused.pdfPlanning conditions
- Consent is refused for the following works: T1 (Common Ash) - fell to ground level and replace. Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the tree is causing or likely to cause damage, with no site specific investigations submitted, and a reasonable alternative mitigation (crown reduction) identified; as such, the proposed felling is not justified and would result in unacceptable harm to visual amenity.
