Email their tree or planning department telling them you are going to do it and to what extent. Most will say crack on.

I agree. That would count as a 211 notice, not need to use the one app.

Of course you could always ask phone co to move line. Good luck with that tho' .Surprised to see suggestion that you need to give 6 weeker , think I'd phone TO and tell what and when I intended to do job.

Why? Unless the branch is dead or the statutory undertaker is doing the works it needs a notice as far as I can see.

'Cos a quick chat with the TO can save time,paperwork and general hassle I'm sure many TOs would prefer that - my opinion and way I would go. Of course you and others may have diferrent modus operandi as is your right. An opinion was sought and given.

I would have to agree with Chris as well. The process for working on trees situated within a CA is very clear. 6 week notification is needed before carrying out works (unless dead and dangerous etc).

 

In this case he is asking for clarification not opinion. If you have a good working relationship with the TO and is happy to take your word for what you are about to do, then that great. The official process is a 6 week notification though and I would expect most TO's work towards standard practices.

 

In this case, a quick call to the TO and explain the situation may speed up the process but that would depend on the relationship you have.
