planning conditions on unprotected trees

[Gary Prentice]

Heard of a TO recently, who carries a Tpo document with him, fills in the details on the spot and serves it.

 

Also know, at least locally, that the out of hrs council team can contact a TO over the weekend if there's complaints.

 

 

IME I don't disagree Skyhuck, you'd have to be unlucky to be stopped. I have on a weekday, two hrs into a job, by a planning officer with an order, complete with the section 201 included.

Not very fast on a Sunday, IME

Working on a tree that's not got a tpo on it? Why would it ruin your rep??

[MATTMOSS]

Probably the cost of submitting a new planning application would make you think twice. They're not free like tree apps (currently) are. A change of use- to a kids nursery with a rebuild of an existing structure I was involved with was several hundred pounds.

 

A reasonable, well supported, change of condition wouldn't be anywhere near that, and in this particular case should get agreed.

 

I got a condition, for a felling app, to replant with two holm oak once (from a council not a million miles away) argued my case and didn't have to plant at all.

 

I agree with that, the repeat application fee would be one element that would be sooner avoided.

Exactly.

Doing controversial work on a Sunday morning to avoid possible confrontation with planning enforcement doesn't build good relationships between TO's and contractors does it?

It's not illegal but it is unprofessional imo.

I totally understand where your coming from!! But you could do it on a week day and just fell them all in one go and have a big tidy up
