Deadwooding a tree in conservation area

[TMB]

Hi was talking with a friend who works for a large property management firm and he asked me if you could dead wood a tree in a conservation area with out the 6 week wait with planning and the honest answer is I have no idea could anyone give me the answer thanks

Yes you can deadwood without notification. It is often worth giving the tree officer a heads up though so they are aware of what is going on

You don't need to submit full app but should notify the LPA with 5 day notice.

Bung your TO an email so they don't waste time rocking up when a neighbour hears a saw.

Not for removing dead wood, removing a dead tree yes, but not dead branches form a retained tree.

Im with skyhuck on this. Also you can deadwood tpos etc may be better just to inform t.o. so no phone calls but you can dead wood away

Assuming your tree is in England as the current 2012 Regs. only apply there. If in Wales they still operate the 1999 Regs but whilst dead-wooding is generally accepted to be an exempt activity its worth confirming such with the LPA.

 

Skyhuck, can't you also remove a (clearly) 'dead tree' without notification, albeit obliged to replace?

 

Cheers..
