   Added to PlanIndex

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.

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.

  Tree T8 ? Common Lime (Tilia ? europaea) Tree T8 is a mature Common Lime positioned immediately adjacent to the property's dry-stone boundary wall. Evidence observed during the inspection indicates that the tree has contributed to inward movement of the wall towards the garden, most noticeably following recent winter weather and prolonged saturated ground conditions. The tree has previously undergone crown reduction to lessen excessive end-weight over the property; however, canopy regrowth has restored significant sail effect and loading. Given the observed wall displacement, the tree's size, and its proximity to the property, further pruning is unlikely to provide a satisfactory long-term solution. Removal is therefore recommended to eliminate the risk of continued structural movement and prevent further damage to the boundary wall while maintaining public and property safety. Tree T9 ? Common Lime (Tilia ? europaea) Tree T9 is another mature Common Lime that has previously been managed through crown reduction due to its proximity to the property and excessive canopy weight. The tree remains in good physiological condition but has regenerated a large, dense crown, increasing wind loading and mechanical stress on the stem and rooting system. A pollard to approximately 8 metres above ground level is recommended. Lime responds well to pollarding, and this work will significantly reduce sail effect, encourage vigorous regeneration, improve long-term structural stability, and retain the tree as an important landscape feature. Tree T10 ? Common Lime (Tilia ? europaea) Tree T10 is of similar age, size and condition to T9 and has also been previously managed. The canopy has regenerated substantially, resulting in increased wind loading and canopy weight. Pollarding to approximately 8 metres is recommended to reduce structural loading, minimise future risk, and establish a sustainable long-term management cycle. This approach will retain the tree while promoting hea

  Re submitted application 1 year later due to continued growth as tree is in need of management - The Yew in question has recently caused the clients dog to undergo surgery due to the ingestion of yew berries and it overly concerned that this may happen again. The tree is over grown of the area in my opinion and also i may add that it does'nt seem lie it adds very much value to the area and also the situ of the tree it is only going to cause more concern so the client would like it removed to ground level
