What are the proper legal checks before removal

[BigDan]

Hi.

I have secured a job for my first non-domestic client who wants some trees removed.

 

I've done my usual checks of the local council maps for any TPO's and the map for conservation areas. There are none. Are there any other checks i'm legally required to make before the job takes place when working for commercial clients?

Have they provided an arb report which details removal? They will In turn of applied for planning to remove the trees which will then give you the permission/felling license. Bolster everything in writing, acknowledge each bit of info/report and then get confirmation back.

As said, it's not a garden so that exclusion on felling license does not apply. If it's "some trees" you could exceed the amount to require it.

Sounds like most checks have taken place and Planning won't give a monkeys if they are on private land and owned by the person requesting the work.

Double check for felling license requirements and crack on.

It doesn't matter that it's a commercial client. What matters is that because it's 'non-domestic' it's probably not in a garden and therefore doesn't have the 'garden' exemption from need for Felling Permission (Scotland) or License (E&W)
