Planning committee
Decided by Coventry Planning Committee on 25 Jun 2026.
Refused
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the healthy protected oak has significant public amenity value and its removal was unjustified.
- Neighbours supported removal, citing shading, possible damage, drainage, safety risks and seasonal nuisance.
- The committee refused permission after hearing support from a ward councillor, a registered speaker and the applicant.
