We have a few brownfield sites for a client where they want to clear the sites. Removing any trees and vegetation!

 

There are no TPO's and they are not within a conservation area, is there anything to stop them doing this ! It just doesn't seem right !

 

Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

 

brown field sites as in development sites ??tree work is usaly done before the commencment of any development works ,just the way they do it, it makes it so much eaisier in the long run thats imo of course :001_tongue:

Sorry should have stated we are looking at this with our consultants specs on.

 

We have identified site constraints with regard to fauna and flora and will recommend our thoughts on trees.

 

I wouldn't recommend flattening the site due to adverse reaction from locals etc. Plus if the LA get wind of it, it is only likely to annoy them and we haven't worked hard to build up our reputation to have it tarred by something like this!

 

If this is recommended it kind of makes a laughing stock of BS5837, one of our main guidance documents!

you'll find if the site has been earmarked for development, all the tree rules go out the window......developers money talks big with the planning departments, if he wants it cleared , and theres no restrictions get it done before the nimbys get in

+1. All the tender loving care and clipboards go in the trash on clearance work. Go level the place.

That's your guidance, the developers guidance has "I promise to pay the bearer" written on it.
