Parish council agree to fell tree - how to stop?

[Ian C]

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?

 

Oh yes it's still a 6 week notice alright, unless it's DDD then a 5 day notice.

So for the poster, the PC can't just fell the tree without putting a notice of intent in to the LA. The tree officer will then come and look and will either put a TPO on the tree or he won't.

Yep that's it in a nutshell hodge.

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.

 

No, not application, but a "211" notification. As before, in a conservation area notification should be made, (unless you intend to make use of the dead and dangerous exemption).

 

The authority then has the opportunity to protect the tree with a TPO. Anyone can file a 211 notification, its a planning application, in broad context like any other regardless of ownership or any interest.

 

A couple of years back there was an example where a resident made an application to build in the garden of a supermarket boss because they made an application to build a supermarket.

There's no longer any dying exception.

There's no longer any dying exception.

 

So have 5 day notice gone aswell, if it was DDD what do you do now then?

[Gary Prentice]

five days are compulsory unless the danger is immediate, with the onus being on you to prove the minimum work to make safe was done.

 

Dying would just come under a normal TPO App or Section 211 notice.

I got impatient waiting for the protest pics so did a Google search "naked women tied to a tree"

 

Rather wishing I hadn't done that.....

[Ian C]

So still pretty much the same then without a D in DDD lol
