Tree work around listed buildings

[renewablejohn]

leswold. Unfortunately thanks to our lovely neighbors we are on first name terms with the enforcement officer so everything has to be by the book. After 4 years of argument and with the support of English Heritage we finally have Listed Building Consent to seal the building up with 3G windows and put in heat recovery ventilation units to control the atmosphere of the building.

You may find this useful. TPOs and Conservation Areas are two separate entities and not to be confused in terms of tree protection:

 

The existence of the Conservation Area confers a degree of statutory legal protection upon the trees, with a stem diameter of greater than 75mm (at 1.5m above ground level), growing within it. In particular it should be noted that prior to undertaking any works to trees within a Conservation Area it is necessary to submit a Section 211 notice to the Local Planning Authority giving six weeks’ notice of the proposed works. In practice the submission of a planning application containing fully specified details of proposed tree works will usually meet this requirement.

 

An authority may treat a planning application for development in a conservation area that includes specified tree work as a section 211 notice if the applicant has clearly stated that it should be considered as such. However, if work is proposed to trees other than those immediately affected by a proposed development then a separate section 211 notice should be submitted. Where an authority has granted planning permission for development in a conservation area, only tree works necessary to implement the development may be carried out. The authority may use conditions or informatives attached to the permission to clarify this requirement.
