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.

    30T Norway maple (possibly part of TPO group G7 and incorrectly identified as a sycamore. Covered by conservation area regardless of TPO). This tree is recommended for removal due to a large column of decay with visible Kretzschmaria deusta fungi from base of stem to stem bifurcation at 3m height. A sounding mallet test on the stem indicated extensive internal stem decay. The tree is located adjacent to a driveway and may be at risk of failure. Fell to ground level and grind stump. 32T Common yew (possibly part of TPO group G7 - exact location of trees on TPO plan is not clear. TPO is almost 30 years old so unlikely to have been a part of the original order as the tree is too young but I want to make sure if it is now covered. Also within conservation area) - fell to ground level and grind stump. This small tree (5m height, 100mm DBH, category C1) requires removal in order to facilitate the construction of a woodland walk footpath and adjacent bin store. 33T Common yew (possibly part of TPO group G7 - exact location of trees on TPO plan is not clear.

This small tree (5m height, 160mm DBH, category C1) requires removal in order to facilitate the construction of a woodland walk footpath and adjacent bin store. The 3No. trees that are proposed for removal are located within a densely wooded area which limits the possibility for replanting due to light competition from the overhanging canopy. The submitted landscaping proposal (ASD_AW_101) contains details of planting to include shade tolerant shrubs, perennials, ferns and grasses. Also included is an Arboricultural Method Statement (BS5837 - 6 Loom Lane 45934687_AMS01 - 17-06-26) and Tree Protection Plan (BS5837 - 6 Loom Lane 45934687_TPP01 - 11-06-26) which details how the retained trees will...
