Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Reduce the lateral spread of crown of mature oak tree T2 on the side overhanging 16 Longmore Road by up to 3m, pruning back appropriate secondary growth points to maintain a natural shape and balanced crown. Crown lift to provide approximately 2-3m clearance from the roofline and guttering of 16 and 18 Longmore Road.
