planning decsions

Hello people,

 

I was talking to a tree officer a few years ago and he said if the council refuse your application to fell a tree in a conservation area but didn't put a tpo on it then you could proceed. Just had another situation like this.

 

Any comments or ideas?

Never heard that before, if they refuse your app than as i take it you cannot fell it, thats why you put an app in the first place cos its protected in a con area. If you put an app in and they dont reply in 6 weeks you can go ahead.

I'm sure they have to put a TPO on it if they refuse, but some trees don't come up to spec to have a TPO put on them. So they may just say they are refusing but .. not really. if you see what I mean.

IC Trees is correct.

If they refuse your app in a con area they dont have to put a tpo on it , its still protected as its in a con area.

Just spoke to a consultant mate and he said that they cannot refuse the works for a tree in a conservation area, they can only either agree to it or make a TPO. He said he would back it up if necessary with the various documentation.

If that is the case then surely there would be no need to even ask the L/A:confused1:

 

I am 99% sure(was a 100%) that what IC trees said is how it goes.

Just had an email from the client who is nervous, and I did just see that she is a solicitor. Mmmm me thinks I'm going to get that paper work. Will post here if I remember.

Why not do the simple thing and ring the tree officer and ask him, after all its him that makes the decisions!
