RE: Protect all trees

Whilst working as a climber Sydney I came across a simular idea, at the time
as a cash in hand worker I didn't look in to it too much but the impression
I got from my boss was that it works at first but after a few years people
get 'wise' and any tree approaching the threshold is felled so as to save
any future hassle.
Also the amount of resources needed to police/ regulate this would be
massive.

Not really in the Planning/TPO area myself but it sounds like a step
forward. However, the two points you raise, lack of resources and arguments
over whether trees were protected at X time would still remain unchanged
wouldn't they? Seems like your cure does not match your problem.

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?
