   Decision issued: Refusal of work to Tree applications

4. 24 Jul 2026

   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.

  Scots Pine (T1) - Remove The base of the tree is 110cm from the existing silver birch, with the result that over the years much of the growth overhangs our neighbours driveway at Chenies. Potential danger from branches falling onto their property. It has a low amenity value being an unexceptional specimen. Furthermore, the combined foliage with the silver birch creates excessive shading to the front of my property.
