Proposal
T1 multi-trunked early mature Sycamore - We are looking to dismantle and replace with a smaller tree species, such as hazel, cherry, serviceberry, rowan, or crab apple. T1 currently dominates the entire garden and sits in close proximity to the house, with the canopy overreaching the roof of the building and entire garden.

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.
