Got this reply to an application today??

 

The colour sketch plan is the one I sent first

 

This black and white is what they require.... but could not put the crosses on. Am I missing the point... or do they just want to waste my time?

did you put the amount to be removed as a percentage ben? because if you did, their reply makes no sense whatsoever:confused1:

I think that in a way they arent really asking too much....although very nice, your colour plan isnt the clearest, and two red (for example) crosses in the black and white map would be very clear indeed, and the imperial thing, wel in a way that is to be expected.

Think yourself lucky.....the council down here wouldnt stoop to be nearly as helpful as your council have been....if it gets stuck in registration you dont get told!!!

I think Percentages have gone out of the window with BS3998 2010.

They are crappy conifers, a hedge really. I put the height above the ground they were to be cut too. I just don't understant why they could not have looked at the map and drawn on theirs, it is from the same data. As to using metric.. 1ft = 0.3m..

Tell me you cant see T1 and T2. The map is from their web site. The garden isless then 10x7m or 30x21ft..

I have to agree with you Ben. Your colour plan shows the trees very well.

 

Weird.

Yes i can see them, but at first i missed them, and if your councils reg department are anything like the dept downhere, they will have missed them. The red circle put me off at first. You have to bear in mind that you are dealing with public servant underlings here......I dont mean to sound pedantic, but a recent app I submitted was thrown back at me for far more inane reasons than yours.....eg on the survey of the 28 trees, with a ARCGIS sub metre accurate plan, and detailed descriptions of works, final spreads etc ect, they rejected it because there was now final spread on 6 trees....even though it quite clearly stated that there was no action required on the survey on those trees!!!!!

Well if they couldnt work it out from your drawing then I think they need to re- evaluate their there work status.

 

Its not difficult now is it!
