The Planners Are Coming

If it dies, the TPO still applies as that space is still reserved for a tree, the LPA can serve a Tree Replacement Order to enforce replanting. There doesn't need to be a tree for there to be a TPO, its a charge on the land.

 

The exemption simply refers to the need to apply for consent.

 

OK I'll rephrase it, a TPO does not "apply" to a dead tree, how could it? how can you protect something that is already dead? you cannot kill it twice, now can you? and as such the council can not dictate the method of removal or who does it.

 

they can of cause insist on its replacement and the TPO will pass on to the new tree.

I stand corrected, thanks Huck.

 

Having been initially surprised by the events in the programme I just wanted to suggest an alternative viewwhich may give some credit and the benefit of the doubt to the TO. It's all opinion and supposition.

The council can't dictate who does it anyway. A consent is issued for a specified operation, not a specified operative. Although conditions can refer to the standard of the work (usually in terms of BS3998), they can not refer to who carries out that work.

i think thats a shame there protected for a reason i would like to only have approved folk been able to carry out work that does not include felling ie prunning and crown reductions, lifting ect
