Tpo and conservation area check?

We can then get back to juggling 15 plates at the same time...

 

 

Thats the nail firmly smacked on the head! 👍🏻

 

Undermanned / under resourced to fulfil routine tasks resulting in the situation where planning notices are being sent to contractors to erect. Can't see it catching on in the building game so why for TPO apps?

 

If they have to be posted at site, just like a planning app for building, so as to notify the public and fulfil the consultation requirement, that function is LA not applicant.

 

The applicant may not wish to raise the profile and encourage public comment. Sending the notice to the applicant to post is a flawed concept!

Again not wanting to derail the thread . My local council said to me that the boundary or cut off point of a conservation area may be up to 10 m out ????? Say what .

Depends on how well I knew the TO and how that particular local authority worked. I have a great relationship with two of the local authorities I regularly work within the others not so much because I never seem to speak to the same person twice and multiple departments manage the same process. So to answer your question; for me it would depend where the job was and what I knew of the local authority it fell within and I would make a judgement call.

Google the relevant conservation area character appraisal and look at the plan. It will most likely show a clear boundary rather than some 3rd hand arbitrary line on some online mapping.

Been asked to clear the grounds of a large empty property in a conservation area, consisting of ash saplings and self seeded shrubbery, and more brambles than I care to look at. All waste chipped and left on site, am I ok to just start the work or better to contact the LA?

If everything is less than 75mm dbh it's excempt, but I've always emailed the LA to inform them that we are doing it and everything is exempt. An email saves them responding to a complaint and coming out, then stopping everyone working while they look round the site.

 

A bit of professional courtesy and may earn you some brownie points.
