the guy is building a house on land which is essentially his garden. If the trees are not protected then he can fell them prior to any application.....surely?

cheers. will pass it on.

LIves just outside of Launceston but travels all round county for work.

I have a friend in cornwall who has a Husky saw that needs some attention. He's looking for somebody reliable and good..... Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks in advance.

so in effect could permission be turned down on the basis that any construction could be detrimental to the trees well being even though there are no restraints in place? If by adhereing to BS 5837 it made it unviable to build unless trees were removed surely he is entitled to remove them. Surely if this was the case people would just remove unprotected trees before submitting any applications and therefore removing a risk of an application being turned down because of trees and at the same time saving themselves money by not having to get a tree survey done?

Hi....I'm not doing the report for him....he is going to pay a professional to one for him. I am just intrigued as to the purpose of the report with regards non tpo'd or conservation area trees. Surely whatever reccommendations are made in the tree protection plan and constraints put in place he could can just go ahead and remove the trees instead.?

I am after some advice on behalf of somebody who has submitted an application for a build on adjacent land to his property. As is the norm he has been asked by the council to submit an Arboricultural Impact Assessment. On the proposed development site there is a prunus and two small beech trees which have been maintained at the same height and crown spread for many years. These are neither tpo'd or fall within a conservation area although they are to be retained if possible. I have worked out Root Protection Areas for these 3 trees and all extend into the proposed construction zones even by off setting by 20% (if this is still the norm?) Due to no restraints being placed upon these trees and the fact that they are in a moderate category with regards retention he could legally fell them before submitting any documentation to the council. He is trying to do things properly however. The concern is that once the report has been submitted the council could quite feasibly put a TPO on 1 or all of the trees and scupper his plans somewhat. I can understand the council wanting an Arb report for a TPO tree or in a conservation area but surely he can just turn around and fell the trees if the report puts restraints on development? And it would have cost him a few hundred quid for the report...... Bit new to all this 5837 malarkey so any advice/help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
