He is not . He asking if he can do works over the roots of a TPOed tree .

Ye she planned to make a TPO application. But why? It's only needed for works to a tree, or at  apush for works that may damage or destroy a tree. Shouldn't need an application, I'd go as far as to say the LPA shouldn't accept an application for anything that is designed not to damage.

Ok . Just read 2nd post and I may have the wrong end of the stick here but to me it reads they are applying to do works to a tree that already has a TPO . Not applying to have one instated .

Quite. Hence my original question... why the TPO application? 

In any event the works required are to the driveway, not the tree. At least at this point with the info provided. I think someone already said 'take out the broken bits and put some gravel down' [sic].  I would say there's a lack of detail about what's going on below this existing drive. So I'd suggest removing some or all of the damage and then work out the likely effect on the tree of the myriad solutions to improve the situation for the client. Too soon to offer up a spec.

Worth considering a temp measure after further site investigation such as bridging any shallow roots with thick ply over sand or something...
