Decision & conditions
2083273_Tree_Decision_WTPO_Refused.pdfPlanning conditions
- The proposed removal of the protected Sycamore tree is refused as insufficient evidence has been provided to justify its loss. The tree makes a positive contribution to the visual amenity of the locality, and the issues cited are not sufficient grounds to outweigh the presumption in favour of its retention.
