Its utopian alas, and I disagree for that reason only.
Quoting Paul Durkan <pdurkan@xxxxxx.co.uk>:
I don't think the Tree Preservation Order system works very well; fine
trees get felled because local authorities lack resources; a lot of time
and money gets spent on tortuous and tedious arguments about whether or
not trees are/were protected at certain points in time. I could go on.
As an excellent alternative, I propose scrapping all TPOs, and amending
the Conservation Area legislation to cover the entire country (including
her majesty's estates), thereby protecting all UK trees over, erm, is it
15cm girth (I'm afraid I can't remember).
Does anyone agree with me?
