Not the brightest eh... [But think you know it all] Hanging yourself requires VERY little force..

You're right John, I'm not academic nor bright.

 

I've spent decades working in the woods, selling firewood, green waste composting, hedge cutting, fruit tree pruning and in my youth, crown reductions and take downs in tight gardens.

 

I'm not bright but then I'm neither institutionalised nor corporatised. If you work with people like you describe in a place that costs as much to run as you've indicated over the last few months, then I understand why you're here. Some of what you say is occassionally interesting but ...

 

... please spare us your hypotheticals dressed up as fact. It's no different to crying wolf or wild goose chases. All you've shown in this thread is you merely want to draw our attention back to what you do for a living so you can dazzle us with your procedural care. Take some advise and stick to trees and the kit thereof.

Hi Sutton,

Thank you for your constructive reply. I should not have said not the brightest, and i apologise for that. I must admit, i wish i had a merest FRACTION of your knowledge regarding trees and things of that nature..

 

I do not seek to go on about what i do at all. I was asked to sort the tree and i assumed in had a TPO as many of ours do. Later on though, i checked my map, and it turns out it has not, but i checked with works to make sure. 

 

I will be honest, i have been meaning to sort if for a while, but last week a ward manager asked me to get it done, as they act as risk assessors in matters of this kind, as do the health care inspectorate who come along and make a nuisance of themselves..

 

I merely though that i would explain a bit about hospitals for those that might be interested in the context of the problem..

 

I will take your advice, and thank you very much for sharing it with me, and i TRULY mean that..

 

john..

The case you refer to challenges the generality of your suggestion that a TPO cannot be challenged.

The abillity to challenge it is time limited. Read the longer parts of the T&C Planning Act and it describes the detail.

Yes, 6 weeks from confirmation. The thing is, though, the validity of a TPO can be challenged, as it was in Wilkson.

Not sure what your point is; every TPO when served/confirmed should define the time window for challenging the TPO; once past that is the end of it. The Wilkson challenge was within that time window (para 23).

No point in particular, it's just that you said ""the validiity... shall not be questioned in any legal proceedings whatsoever". So hard luck! ", so I was just tidying up the record that there is a right of challenge.

 

The current form of Order in the Regulations does not mention the right of challenge. The Regulations don't oblige the Council to define the time window, but they do have to notify an interested party of the time it has to apply to the High Court. This is done by reference to the 1990 Act. I expect the average person would not be able to follow the trail of subclauses to realise that they have in fact a right of challenge. It's hard to find even when you know it's there.
