TPO varying for replacement trees

[Chris at eden]

Hi

 

You would be better off making a new Order to accurately reflect what is on the ground; groups; individuals; woodlands. Modifying an area Order to groups or individuals is asking for trouble, should an objector wish to make something of it. You could then leave the emergency area order to lapse after 6 months, and record it as not confirmed.

You're probably right. I wouldn't vary an existing order for a replacement tree either. I would just make a new one. Its cleaner.

 

The only problem I can see with your approach is that the objectors would have to submit objections all over again which probably wouldn't go down well. That said, that's not necessarily a reason not to do it.

 

The thing about varying the area orders comes from the CAS course run by Richard Nicholson. Not something I ever considered as all the TPO's I ever served were sealed. I know they don't need to be but for some reason it was in the constitution! That would mean if you vary you would physically have to write the numbers onto the plan rather than produce a new GIS plan. Looks a bit amateurish if you ask me.

 

Cheers,
