What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

21 Bishops Court Gardens Chelmsford CM2 6AZ
T1 Oak-Located rear garden- Crown reduction up to 2.5 metres, back to natural growth points, light thinning of the canopy to a maximum of 10%, removal of dead wood and leaving the shape as a natural profile. Reason: The tree is now greatly out of proportion in a small urban garden, it also overhangs neighbouring properties limiting the amount of light. There is also the need to prevent the loss of major limbs through end loading as the tree ages. It is necessary to bring the tree back into a suitable shape and size for a small garden to safeguard its future life.
