Refusal of consent & Compensation

[Gary Prentice]

I think I've had four refusals, over the last three years. I will check on all of them whether compensation was mentioned.

4 refusals in 3 years. I would suggest that you contact the Tree Officer for pre-application advice?

[daltontrees]

I think he meant on behalf of clients. You can advise against applying and the client can decide to get you to apply anyway. You can have pre-app discussions and get an amber light and then apply only to get a refusal. And so on. It hasn't happened to me but I know people that it has happened to.

:lol::lol:

 

Sorry, I work for the client, not the LA.

One of the refusals went to appeal. The TO admitted the tree was in a worse state of decline than he originally thought, the appeal still failed , then the tree shed a limb across the lane. The TO pre application advice would be against the interests of my client.

 

If I'm putting in, on average three applications a week, 50 weeks a year, over three yrs thats 450 applications. (probably on the low side) so by the law of averages 4 refusals/difference of opinions with the TO aint bad:thumbup1:

If you’re submitting that many applications then no, and likewise you could not arrange to do pre-app for all of them. Some LA's do offer pre-app advice to try and discuss issues to prevent subsequent applications from being refused.

With all the cutbacks, it's becoming more difficult to get a decision within the allotted timescale, let alone get a site visit.

You been on the vino tonight Kevin?

 

3 a week, 50 weeks a year times 3yrs equals 450.

 

But that's over six or seven LA's, think I've submitted four this week so far, but have several sites with restraints to see over the next few days.

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

It wasn't the math that surprised me it was the volume of apps! Is it predominantly urban?

[Gary Prentice]

Manchester, including Saddleworth where every village seems to include a CA.
