Thinking about it if they don't put a TPO on the tree then they are consenting to you doing the work...

 

 

I thought there was a 4 week time scale to decide to TPO the tree, if you work on trees in a CA in that time scale with out permission unless it's dead ,dangerous or dying you get prosecuted.

6 weeks round here I think. And yes that's the way I understand it too.

I guess so

 

Thanks Hodge - I guess the tree officer can settle this one pretty quickly then.

Four weeks starting from when Matty?

From when the application is logged,

Hodge is right it's 6 weeks , have not done one for a year but I've got a whole folder of hundreds I've had to do!

6 weeks from when they make the application for the works in the CA

Cheers Hodge,

 

So in theory the Parish Council, assuming they own the tree, need to apply for permission to fell it because its in a CA? Or the arborist doing the work for them would lodge the application?

 

Please excuse my ignorance, as I've said before I'm not in the industry, sorry.

[Hodge]

Yes mate, if they don't then they can get prosecuted or that's what I'm led to believe.

Your pretty much right exempt in a conservation area it's not an application it's a notice of intended works, the only way a TO can stop said notification is to put a TPO on said tree, if he doesn't thinks it's worth a tpo the owners can do as they please.

Yes but they still have to put in the notice. If the PC get the tree felled without putting a notice of intent up then they can be prosecuted can they not?
