yep I agree get the email of the planning admin section at your local authority & ask for relevant restrictions to any tree works at the address in that way there is a documented trail

there should be plenty of interest, given the state of things

No probs & basically this is a card that most construction sites require as a prove of H&S awareness for the relevant trade It however might be taken by the unenlightened Site Manager as being a skills card Which quite clearly it isnt Very Dodgy thats why As a NPTC ASSESSOR I have brought this to their attention of NPTC HQ they can then promote their skills certifcates to the construciton industry

TEXT FROM CSCS email Good Afternoon All of our occupations related to trees are CRO’s and do not require any qualifications.

Ads ensure the survival of a forum that is Free to its users So I really cant complain in the main they are just part of the screen appearance to myself ,however they do offer a good easy route to relevant sites. this site is in its infancy really, so advertisers who are already here should do well as the site becomes more popular

Okay guys as I see it , we have no obligation or enhanced status what so ever as a profession to dob people in .. What people choose to do with their trees so long as it is within the law is entirely their business However The local authority have an obligation to promote / protect the amenity of trees as laid down in the t&cp act, if they are errant in this then they are falling short of their obligations.. its the the LA's job to do it correctly, it is NOT ours to tell them when to apply it !!! this could lead to a professional conflict if a client pays for your assistance or advice/report as Tpo notice / appeal is processed. It beats me why Some trees are instantly TPo'd because theres a sniff of someone wanting to do something to or around it, if a tree as reached a state to which it contributes so much to amenity , the WHY OH WHY hasnt it been TPo'd before especially where it is outside of other restrictions/ protections ie conservation areas. I dislike the Emergency TPO , especially when the TO / LA are using it as a kicking tool to get one over on the owner. Trees dont just pop up overnight.If the trees meet the TPO criteria then they should have already been protected, Yes or NO ? this legislation has been around for quite some time now just my thoughts

Not being funny mate but thats an awful lot of pegs your leaving there can i ask Why ? it seems as though your wearing spikes ! in my experience a peg is something to snag your gear on or even worse jab you if you gaff out
