Planning application
4 Erw Lydan Cemlyn Park Penmaenmawr LL34 6BW
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
We are looking to remove and replace trees 105, 106, 107, and 108. They are all ash trees, and in the report from 20 years ago, the trees at the time were described as: 105 - Dead 106 - Triple stemmed at base, dominant crown class, crossing & rubbing limbs, cavity at limb/trunk junction - major deadwood on limb. Ivy clad. Nails in trunk. Major cavities in lower limb - hollow. Suppressed. 107 - Single central leader. Large longitudinal cavity at base - hollow. Heavily clad in ivy. Occluded cavity in lower limb. Nails in trunk. 108 - Triple stemmed at base. Ivy clad. Dominant crown class. Twisting & crossing limbs. Minor Deadwood. We would like to replace them with silver birch trees, however we are open to alternatives. The only reason we want to remove the existing ash trees is that they have ash dieback and aren't in very good condition. We would like to remove and replant better quality trees for longevity.

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.

Involves a general re-shaping involving a crown reduction and thinning to a specification within BS3998 -2010 and as agreed by the tree surgeon and planning officer.. A reduction of 2 .5 m was mentioned but I would welcome intervention and advice so that the tree is shaped symmetrically and retains the character of its crown. Also to check and remove any areas of decay that would benefit surrounding properties in the event of high wind. In addition, the removal of a small (12cm diameter), low, partially decayed over hanging branch toward No.6 Rhodfa Sant Elian, which was damaged by high winds.
