Decision & conditions
2086340_Tree_Decision_WTPO_Refused.pdfPlanning conditions
- Consent is refused for the following works: T8 and T14 Sycamore. The trees are located in the rear garden of the applicant’s property and are partially visible form the public realm. They are located within a wider tree group and provide a collective good contribution to the visual amenity of the locality. The applicant is seeking consent for the removal of both trees on the basis of a previous report recommendation. A supplementary report titled Arboricultural Report British Standard 5837:2012 ‘Trees in relation to design, demolition, and construction’ and dated the 13th of march 2020 has been provided. Section 1.4.2 of the report sets out that the report contents can only be relied upon for a period of two years. Having reviewed the tree survey schedule information, no works are recommended to fell both T8 and T18, only the removal of deadwood identified. As there are no arboricultural justifications supporting the removal of the trees, the report is 6 years out of date and per the reports own content, the information contained within it cannot be relied upon outside of 2 years from the date of submission, the works requested within this application are refused consent.
