arboricultural impact assessment help

Just looking at a report in relation to some tree removal on a development site, the report appears to be incomplete, either that or i am missing something! the trees on the report are numbered completely different to the ones on the actual drawings. drawings are t1 t2 etc but the report are tt4 tt8 etc? am i reading this wrong?

[sloth]

The report should say to which drawing it relates to, and the reference numbers should match. Does it seem right that t1 in the report is tt1 on the plan etc? Could be a software quirk...

the more i read the more incomplete it is, part of wooded area g7 to be removed? what part? how much? which trees? also theres a T2 on the plan and a TT2 on the report but no TT2 on the plan so not sure if its a software error, no species names for individual trees etc

[sloth]

Oh. Has it actually been accepted and approved by the LA?

i am assuming so, need to check a few things tomorrow, i have been sent a letter apparently from the la talking about condition of trees and expressing views on removals. But it is not on headed paper? and is not signed by an individual . just does not look right. what is the usual sequence of events from the developer buying the land to the day they actually start building? a large area of the trees are protected but i cannot see anything stating that the council have given approval?

That's what i am worried about, if i contact the la involved they will be able to tell me if consent has been given?

I wouldn't do that, I would stay with the developer and get him to furnish the proper paperwork from the LA.

 

As a general principal. if you go direct to the LA and they get frisky with more TPO's the developer will be upset at you for dropping him in it

I actually asked if they were protected, the reply was "yes" i then asked if they could forward me written consent i will email u the letter they sent andy.

the tree idents and job spec has to be clear - they are not, they have to be before any work is carried out especially felling. get it sorted
