Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T3: Beech - Reduce height by 4m to match height of T2. T3 is a rather slender specimen & its position at the top of the ridge leaves itvulnerable to high winds, this work will lower the risk of failure byreducing the level of exposure & the tree is near to buildings and apublic road
