Asda are building a huge superstore in Ipswich, peep through the plywood hoarding cracks as you do, not a jot of tree protection ANYWHERE! stuff piled up under big old mature oaks, some lovely trees on the site too........

Sounds like a free 4 all Lee...!

There is no point in method statements and AIA's and TPA's or much in planning consent, if the rules are blatantly ignored from "ignorance" or there is no way to ensure a fair punt!

As it is they rarely go for the pragmatic and costly methods that promote the retention and value of trees. It is the reason why the AIA's are there. Arnt we sailing close enough to the wind already to allow this all too prevalent culture the where with all to take a hold......

Personally I think it has already and keep little real optimism for the fast dwindling amenity trees of this country.I say "smack their bitch up"-make their life so difficult during development that it costs them a fortune....

 

Oh well...have good w/e

I think you are wasting your time trying to educate these people they know they should dig through roots etc. The ONLY way is with massive penalties imo or stop the works completely thereby causing massive costs to them.
