Tpo issues

[Rugbywales]

Hi recently I have been contacted by a tp officer who has objected to my planning to move my barbers shop to another permitted build on tpo area. Both existing and proposed are on the same tpo area. Not only is he objecting he wants to recommend enforcement to remove build. 

  On consulting with tpo officer one year ago it was said under advice it would be OK to do works on land as long as no heavy machinery or storage and all bases must be on floating piles. I added 2 foot top soil to area then stilts only into this added ground. 

   I need to know as very little info on this, what my position is.

Changing soil levels around trees (ie adding 2 foot of topsoil) is a no-no for a start. Did you have a BS5837 survey and an Arboriculture Method Statement drawn up, included and accepted within your planning application (I assume not as you are now in contravention of planning by the sounds of it). 
Appoint an Arboricultural consultant would be my advice - post up your location on here and I’m sure someone will point you in the right direction.

Roots need to breath . Adding  2foot above a root area is not good for the tree .

Looks like you are in for a rough ride and your beast course of action is probably to appoint an arb consultant before you get into thicker treacle. There's usually a way, and the answer is usually only clear when you see the site and the tree. Piling miught be the solution, but personally I think putting a floating floor over root protection area will deprive roots of water and will damage the tree as surely as if you had dug them up.
