TPO Appeal - any advice very welcome
scudmonster replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I suspect its an area tpo so reclassification will be necessary. Ask your client to go to the tree officer with a management plan, the tree officer might look favourably or get forestry commission woodland grant scheme in place. Do not under any circumstances fight it. The local authority will win. I know from experience in past as a tree officer. -

Is the tpo an area one. If so they must record what trees there are (no's and species). In the old days tree officers used to slap tpo's on and not need to quantify them. This should only happen in an emergercy and before the tpo is confirmed its to be scheduled. Ask your client to speak to the tree officer and clarify as potentially your client could stick two fingers up and say Im never going to touch the trees again. I suspect the issue could have been avoided by simply running by the tree officer what you were going to do and what you and the clients objectives were. Yeh yeh easy to say afterwards I hear you say but how is he/she supposed to know whats going on before the nimbys irrate phone call. The Local authority may not choose to confirm the order in which case its no longer valid. -

Personal accident cover is worthwhile if you are selfemployed or poss off work long term. They will only pay out half your monthly income and will only pay out when off for more than 2 weeks. generally cost under £10.00 per month. Half your income is better than no income.

I went from college to being a tree officer back in 1989. The job is not as easy as it sounds. Dealing with all sorts of views from members of the public(many of which were crackpots) including councillors that dont have a clue but want re-elected so theyd flog their granny to get back in office. They have the same view as most of you and groan at cowboy jobs. You guys can walk away from jobs they cant and the public know their rights (citizen charters etc) If I came across another tree professional I discussed the tree job with them and came to a concensus of opinion of what was required then move forward to grant permission. fact of the matter is I loved the job but went self employed in 1998. Id love to go back to those days but life is sweeter in my chosen location.

I would record the piece of equipment with cert of conformity and when first put into use. When you employ a subbie, they are directly responsible for their kit unless you give them yours. I would find out if their gear is certified. If their kit isnt loler tested dont use em and make sure their insured. Its your name at the end of the day. As for no-ones adding to the thread. Guess its due to the early comment. fact is I thought this was a discussion site where views are exchanged. Ps. Im a loler inspector

The Arb officer in Dundee (Eric Hamilton) is the past chair of the Scottish Arb Assoc. so we might be able to swing something in Dundee District. The Duke of Buccleuch might also be welcoming at Drumlanrig (D&G) I also personally know the factor there. Give me notice and Ill be there. We might also be able to set up regular meets as discussion group and invite speakers in.

I take it steph has no problem with your son. first things first, your son is no.1 and any partners need to understand the love a father has for their kids. If they dont the relationship cant progress. I hope that has been helpful bud. take care
