TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL

Afternoon wise ones,
  The importance to supply precise and detailed information within a section 
211 is widely documented within the DETR guide, the law of Forests and 
Hedgerows (C. Mynors, 2002) and The Validation of Planning Applications 2007 
and so on. That said, I can?t seem to find any more information on validation 
of section 211?s further than; ?For works to trees in conservation areas, it 
is important to supply precise and detailed information on your proposal. You 
may, therefore, wish to provide the following:??.? compared to ?you MUST 
provide the following? for TPO applications;?...? The  principal auxiliary 
verb, ?wish?, is my concern here. 
  The question is therefore; can a LPA consider a section 211 notification 
invalid as it could with a planning application? 
  If this is the case, what?s the system for appeal? I can see the applicant 
has the right of appeal for non-validation under section 78 of the Act. But I 
have difficulty accepting this as I assume the relevant grounds for such an 
appeal would be non-determination within the determination period. 
  My only logical thoughts for appeal would be the right for the applicant to 
complain to the Local Government Ombudsman on the grounds of 
maladministration.
  Can anyone please point me in the right direction. 
  Kind regards 
  Andy
