Planning application
24/00203/TPO
152 Obelisk Road Southampton SO19 9DP
Proposal
4x Yew - Reduce lateral spread over rear gardens by up to 2m from branch tips. The work is to start at the longest extension to set the line for the rest of the trees, therefore some trees may not be reduced back by 2 metres, but the aim is to have a level face set by the 2 metre reduction of the longest extension growth. Reduce height by up to a maximum of 2.5 metres ensuring that the canopy is shaped and not flat across the length of the trees. All cuts are to go back to suitable growth points of one third the diameter of the final cut.

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.
