RE: When is a woodland...?

Bill hit the nail on the head:

"Realistically we should try and avoid the problems by not permitting 
development in the first place"

It's a constant source of headaches for all of us...houses too close to 
trees, vested interests masquerading as moral outrages etc etc

Contrary to what Bill also said...A woodland order would protect the regen., 
whereas any other designation -  does'nt....remember that ruling from a 
couple of years ago... an area cannot be changed to a woodland, cos its a 
different 'animal'

Not sure of the ins and outs of this particular situation but my inclination 
would be tpo TPO the remaining woodland as W and each plot be given an 
individual/group designation on the best of whats left. Experience tells me 
that those areas left as woodland within the plots will soon become lawns 
with trees... or worse. Cut your losses and grab what you can.

Incidentally a Q for TO's. What are your thoughts on TPO'ing a site [line of 
trees, woodland, group] which is outside of a development [different 
ownership] but would be desirable because of the effects of that development. 
The trees might not warrant a TPO in ordinary circumstances, but with a new 
development adjacent, their value suddenly increases. The point is that a 
land charge is  being placed on another landowner, through no fault of their 
own. Ok planning policy may be at fault here, but does anyone else out there 
feel uneasy when situations like this arise? I suppose it goes back to Bills 
comment.
