Proposal
1no. Birch (T3) - Remove to ground level due to its likelihood of failure & low value of retention if reduced to improve stability. Extensive upper crown recession, extensive basal & root decay.

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.

1no. Beech (T1) - Crown reduction by up to 3m from branch tips throughout the crown, maintaining natural shape and balanced form. Removal of dead, diseased, damaged and crossing branches where appropriate. 1no. Oak (T2) - Crown reduction by up to 3.5m from branch tips throughout the crown, with particular attention to reducing the lateral spread towards property while maintaining the tree’s natural shape and balanced form. Removal of dead, diseased, damaged and crossing branches where appropriate. T1 & T2 have reached maturity and now have extensive crowns, measuring approx. 18m and 16m in spread respectively. The size and density of the canopies result in significant overshadowing of the rear garden and rear elevation of the property, substantially reducing natural daylight and limiting the reasonable enjoyment and use of the garden. T2 is situated approx. 4m from the rear elevation of the property and, because of its proximity, has a greater impact on daylight reaching both the house and the immediate garden area. A slightly greater crown reduction is requested to improve light penetration while retaining its natural form, health and amenity value. The proposed works represent sympathetic management of two mature trees and are intended to maintain them as healthy, structurally sound specimens in accordance with BS3998:2010.
