I mean I do LOVE them. but it is awash with TPO around here....even to be seen near one of them with with a lopper will probably get you 6 months !!!

All you've got to do is condemn it Trees with TPAs can be condemned if they are diseased or rotten. Scraping away some soil around the largest roots, drilling some small holes and filling them with old car battery acid has the curious effect of making a tree look pretty rotten after a few months...............

PeterW Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I can write a DD&D report from 200 miles away ....... Working on TPOs is fine until you get a new tree officer like the one we’ve just got - young and clueless ..!! Degree in Environmental Science yet can’t tell an oak from a sycamore and thought a 40 year old oak covered in water sprouts was “healthy”... Wanted me to put a full application in to remove, I declined with a “if it falls onto that house in the interim it’s on the council insurance...” Mr Husqvarna 1 - Council 0 I know a couple of lads who have already put in complaints against her - doesn’t seem to understand what PPE is either .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Ahhh the joy of tree fencing ..! That’s permanent Heras or similar. I’ve got a copy of the BS guidance if you want it to do your site plans for fencing. There is an anomaly in there in that (as usual) they have said you need to put fencing in place before any works, yet it’s likely you will need to undertake works to get the fencing and openings in ... Nice to see that as soon as you have ground levels agreed you can get the slab in, as all above ground is approval prior to this stage, not prior to commencement. Do you have a CIL liability..?

Ed_MK Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 hmmm.. Never been asked that before Peter , and never heard it mentioned either. I just did some FAST reading and I cannot find many references to it under the councils site having a skim over it (Gov site) ...could it be that we are exempt due to the size of dwelling? I think i read 100 m2 + somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i read 100 m2 + somewhere I believe that the 100 sqm exemption does not apply to new build, but as a self-builder you should be exempt anyway, surely? There are elephant traps (ie they will charge you notwthstanding you being a self-builder) if you do not have your confirmed CiL exemption in place, and written in tablets of stone ,before development starts. Putting up tree fences may or may not count as development - someone else might know or confirm that it is foggy. The documents will be on display with the other Council Plans: Ferdinand Edited December 5, 2017 by Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
