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 amendments applications
How this application type works
An amendment application changes a permission that already exists. Non-material amendments cover small adjustments with no wider effect, while minor material amendments, usually made by varying a condition, allow modest design changes without a fresh application. Anything beyond that needs a new permission, so the scope here is deliberately narrow.

The tree has been classed as in Class 2 stage of dieback with 75%-51% of the crown remaining (The Tree Council - ADB A Guide For Tree Owners). If left the trees health will only deteriorate making removal dangerous.

Re Pollard Chestnut. It is considered that the proposal to re-pollard the horse chestnut is appropriate. As the tree has been previously pollarded the re-growth will not be as strongly attached to the parent stem as naturally formed growth, as such if the re-growth is allowed to get too heavy it can be liable to snapping out during unsettled weather. Also the horse chestnut overhangs the main road, and would have the potential to cause damage should it fail. There are a number of other substantial trees in the adjacent area to the horse chestnut. Due to the other trees in the area, the proposed works are unlikely to have any detrimental impact on the amenity of the area and as such it is recommended that the works are approved.
