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.

5 Day Notice Fell - Dangerous tree. Has sufferred significant structural deterioration following the failure and subsequent removel of a large scaffold limb. Inspection has revealed extensive decay and rot affecting the main stem and lower structure of the tree. The loss of the major limb has exposed a substantial wound through which decay organisms have become established. The presence of Kretzschmaria deusta (brittle cinder fungus) at the base of the tree, together with symptoms consistent with advanced root and butt decay. Due to the close proxmity to the public highway on Seaway Lane it presents an unacceptable danger to highway users, pedestrians and property.
