Planning application

23/00025/TPO

95 Sandpiper Road Southampton SO16 8FE

Refused Southampton Tree Preservation Order

Proposal

T1 - Quercus cerris, Turkey oak - Remove two secondary limbs at appropriate pruning point as per BS 3998, 7.2.5 Figure 2. Please refer to Photo 1. Prune all other overhanging branches no more than 2 metres off in places. If only allowed to reduce the branches in line with the property boundary fence this would less but would be effectively terminating branches between growth points.

As published by the council, reference 23/00025/TPO

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.
