  1. Oh:001_huh: Yes I think you are right!! So so for DDD (as it was ) they can insist on replacement, because it can't really be TPO'd, makes sense. But for trees where you give notice and they chose not to TPO, they have no such power (I think) PS, I'm very well thanks, you??? I'm hoping to make it to the new thing your doing up our way (time permitting) so I may see you there.
  2. Replacement Of Trees: Enforcement 9.14 If a tree in a conservation area is removed, uprooted or destroyed in contravention of section 211 the landowner is placed under a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species at the same place as soon as he or she reasonably can.116 The same duty applies if a tree is removed because it is dead, dying or dangerous or because it is causing a nuisance.117 The duty attaches to subsequent owners of the land, although the LPA have powers to dispense with the duty.118 The LPA may enforce the duty by serving a tree replacement notice under section 207 of the Act (see Chapter 11 of this Guide). 9.14 (above) refers to trees that were removed without 211 notice, not trees that have been removed after notice where the council chose not to TPO. Trees removed without notification can treated exactly as TPO trees removed without content, so replacement will be required. Your TO will tell you all sorts of things and try to increase their powers greatly, they often don't know the legislation very well. I met one on site the other week looking at a DDD tree in the CA, but not TPO'd, he was happy for it to be removed, but insisted it was replaced, I nodded and smiled, but know full well his has no power to enforce replanting, to have that power he would need to TPO the tree and TPO'ing a DDD tree would not be a great idea.
  3. Rupe very kindly sent me the Reg one. I've not used it much and would be happy to pass it on for someone else to try. I did promise it to Frank and he was going to come collect it, but never did.
  4. Chapter 9 Trees in Conservation Areas They will come again, the leaf and the flower, to arise From squalor of rottenness into the old splendour, And magical scents to a wondering memory bring; The same glory, to shine upon different eyes. Earth cares for her own ruins, naught for ours. Nothing is certain, only the certain spring. Laurence Binyon, from The Burning of the Leaves Conservation Areas 9.1 The law relating to conservation areas is in Part II of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Conservation areas are areas of special architectural or historical interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. They are designated by LPAs and are often, though not always, centred around listed buildings. Other buildings and landscape features, including trees, may also contribute to the special character of a conservation area. Trees in Conservation Areas: Section 211 Notices 9.2 Trees in conservation areas which are already protected by a TPO are subject to the normal TPO controls. But the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 also makes special provision for trees in conservation areas which are not the subject of a TPO. Under section 211 anyone proposing to cut down or carry out work on a tree in a conservation area is required to give the LPA six weeks' prior notice (a 'section 211 notice'). The purpose of this requirement is to give the LPA an opportunity to consider whether a TPO should be made in respect of the tree. Exemptions 9.3 Exemptions from the requirement to give a section 211 notice are set out in the 1999 Regulations.109 You do not have to give the LPA six weeks' notice: (1) for cutting down trees in accordance with a felling licence granted by the Forestry Commission or a plan of operations approved by the Commission under one of their grant schemes, (2) for work which is exempt from the requirement to apply for consent under a TPO (for more details see Chapter 6 of this Guide),110 (3) for work carried out by, or on behalf of, the LPA (ie the Council as a whole and not just its planning department), (4) for work on a tree with a diameter not exceeding 75 millimetres (or 100 millimetres if cutting down trees to improve the growth of other trees, ie thinning operations).111 No mention of replanting or any privation for the LA to insist on any replacement.
  5. Ratchet straps round the trunk and fell.
  6. My under standing is that they cannot make you replant trees removed after a notification , where the council don't prevent the felling with aTPO. In fact I have one LA TPO some tree's I had given notice on and then allowed me to fell , after application, just so they could legally enforce and protect the replanting.
  7. I really don't get how people get so passionate and territorial about a team made up of mostly foreigners or people from all over the country When clubs were made up of local players I can see that there would be pride in your town doing well. But know its just down to cash, the deepest pockets buy the best players and there for have a much better chance of doing well. I can understand people enjoying the game and appreciating the skill of those involved, but all this emotion and pride?? I could not muster up any pride for the fact that some rich foreigner decided to pump money into some club or other, or pride in the fact that some foreigner who's behaviour is generally appalling can kick a ball very well. But hey thats just Also why was Joey Barton not arrested as he left the pitch??????
  8. Interesting video Reg, thanks for sharing "Don't tell Bob"
  9. 2 inch polystyrene and thin ply linning.
  10. Thats because they LOVE nuts, I guess if they are really peckish they eat their own or those of a friend
  11. I think every harness I've ever used (except the Weaver which had a belt buckle fastening) did this, just have to keep tightening the wast band through out the day.
  12. I would avoid the 261 for the time being, there is a problem with clutch bearing thats not yet be resolved fully.
  13. You don't need steel, just timber of the correct size, it not only need to be large enough to carry the weight, but also carry the weight after being partially burnt in the event of a fire.
  14. Dead Elm is good because its so dry, very little movement if any.
  15. Having one in the garden could be handy, you know for when the Mrs just won't let something drop.
  16. Funny looking Plane, but at least all that horrid Ivy was gone:thumbup1:
  17. Being AAAC will increase your costs, it has to. So that make you even more expensive than the cowboys, making the cowboy more attractive to many customers. If your work is good and you look after your customers why add to your costs unnecessarily??? As others have said its a good scheme for those who like that sort of thing and is a genuine achievement for those who get it, but thinking it can change the industry or see of the cowboys is just nonsense.
  18. My Mrs says she needs measurements if posable Steve, she says L,M, and S vary a great deal.
