Full planning permission vs trees.

[Ian Flatters]

So heres a question.

 

Full planning permission is given and access to the site for the site office, deliveries is required.

 

As i understand if its suggested in the report and has been approved it can be carried out without applying for works?? Right? wrong?

 

The reason I'm confused is because in the past full planning was given to a site of which 2 of 6 abies that had top's were to be removed for the driveway. They got removed and no tree work application was sent in.

 

Just got asked the question in which i did the report and a contractor carried out the access works only for the client to have a questionnaire/notification about the tree works?

 

Im sure its quite clear but i thought id put the question out here to other who can help my mind thats easily confused before i give my opinion and advice.

Sorry as far as im aware they are only in a conservation area and do not have tpo's. Sorry for the confusion.

As I understand it, if the BS 5837 tree report is part of the approved plans then any recommendations made in the report are defacto approved. Access facillitation is also part of this, unless the trees are either TPO and/or CA and they haven't been included in the BS report.

Thats how i see it. Just was really confused by the situation and im thinking maybe someone else within the department has just gone and sent out the paperwork before checking.

As mad as it seems, often the planning dept won't talk to the forestry dept so these things are over-looked. If you have a good relationship with you local TO it might be an idea to run it past him/her if you think the works recommended are a trifle excessive, even if they are part of the approved plans.

This is the comedy bit they were removing the damaged branches caused by the beer lorry. They hadn't even started the reducing part of the work as i agreed with them you might as well wait until the scaffolding is ready to go up and see if/what needs pruning so they did 50% of the spec.
