Proposal
G119- we would like to clear the deadwood from the tree. We would like to cut back the furthest over hanging branch, the most left branch in the photos provided. The reason being we have a lot of fallen branches from this tree, which falls on the children's playground. If we can just cut back the branch that mainly overhangs the area it will make it safer for them. T492- we lost a limb from the main union of the tree, during the storms in February. We have had a tree surgeon and Julie, tree and landscape officer, from the council to see the tree (and G119). We would like to reduce the tree by max 30%, to make this safer. The concern for the safety of the tree has been made because the branch was from the main union. the reduction will mainly come from the height as we would like to keep as much width as possible, as the beautiful tree will look odd. The reduction will be about 5 metres (30% of the tree height).

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.
