Hi Sharon,
With reference to para 5.26 of the 'blue book' I consider that full planning
permission would cover any tree work that was needed to implement that
permission including scaffolding and reasonable access for plant and
materials.
I think that you would struggle to get a successful prosecution for a TPO
breach if it could be shown that there was no reasonable way that a legal and
valid planning permission could have been carried out without the work taking
place.
Where high value tree may be compromised by a development, I usually request
a method statement indicating how the trees would be protected during the
construction. This statement should detail any additional works that may be
required to trees on the site, for instance to allow access. If this is not
provided, I would assume the worst and advise accordingly
Cheers
Steve

Dear all
To what extent do TO's allow work to be carried out to protected trees on
development site where pruning/ removal is required to fulfill planning
permission? The blue book states that planning permission overides consent,
however, how do you define the amount of work that would be exempt from the
normal TPO/CA requirements:
i.e: pruning exempt where it would be within the footprint of the building,
or allow pruning to clear scaffolding? Would you allow pruning to clear
cranes and plant on site, or ask for normal consent to be acheived? Assume
that all work would be carried out to BS3998:89 and carried out to a tight
spec etc.
As an ex TO and now consultant, I am interested in the range of
interpretations out there.
Hope you all had a fab Christmas and happy new year.

So that's all right then.
I'm lost for words but I expect plenty of others on here won't be. Looks
like a good thread to start the new year with.
Happy 2006 everyone
