djv,
just so you know, your posts (the last 2) don't seem to be getting through.

I think we need to go back to square one Bill. A TPO prevents and
therefore an application is required for the following operations
(consideration given to older TPOs): cutting down, uprooting, topping,
lopping, as well as wilful damage or destruction. If it ain't one of
those then an application isn't required. Rigging Christmas lights,
cable bracing, climbing, fitting a bird or bat box etc. are, in my view,
excluded. Where you gonna draw the line? If climbing is detrimental then
we would need an application for the removal of deadwood also ... Merry
X-mas Bill. :)

How do you refuse it if the system would not have any detrimental
impact on the tree itself?
Whaddya mean no detrimental impact? There will be some impact even if
it's very minor; could be the strap rubbing or maybe the very act of
climbing the tree to install the rig would be detrimental. The growth
following the installation may no longer be optimised as well. If the
tree will benefit from the brace then perhaps you ought to be
withdrawing the TPO? Or maybe you'd prefer the tree to be removed and
replaced? You could probably condition the work upon complying with
3998 but I don't think Cobra is covered by 3998 is it? so it wouldn't
meet spec anyway.
You can give an informative(?) to the effect that in your opinion the
installation is a waste of resources, if that's what you think.
Otherwise, I dunno.
Bill.
