Planning permission

[bobh]

My brother has just bought a plot of land with detailed planning permission, as part of the planning consent he is required to plant several trees.

The specifications state he should plant 100-150 mm girth Rowan,Oak and Sycamore spaced at 3-4 Meyer spacings. Seems very close to me and really quite large.

Any thoughts?

BTW this is a VERY exposed site on the northern Irish coast, within 50 metres of the sea

every tree up your neck of the woods grows at 45 deg with the wind they will never stand up without some propping

They don't seem big to me are you getting girth mixed up with diameter.

Even at 100-150mm girth he will struggle to keep them in the ground, I would suggest planting the smallest trees he can find which come close to the required spec and stake them very well. then interplant with normal plants tubed and staked, by the time the big ones blow over the secondary planting should be established.
