Writing a management plan (5year) to cover trees in Con Area

[Giles Hill]

I guess it would depend on whether or not the LPA chose to enforce the regs - this would be down to the individual Tree Officer and how well you get on with them.

 

Either way it would be best to structure the plan around the practical tree work, rather than the red tape of the regs. Once the plan is written, you can just resubmit it and apply to continue implementation of the management plan, or sometimes it is helpful to update the plan, to take into account new working methods, or things that have arisen on site.

Ok brilliant, thats a great incentive to get it done. I get on well with the current TO, and we have a good working relationship in particular with this site as it is quite sensitive. hence I felt the 5 year plan would show on going commitment and in the event of a change of TO help to smooth the way for the future.

Sounds a like nice project to be involved in Andy.

If you are suggesting things like removal of a species. It might be worth referencing the logic behind it. For example journals on Invasives, Biodiversity, Non natives etc
