It's the logic quite clearly spelled out in the BS at 4.2.4, but missed by
almost every author of reports I've ever seen. The obsession of our industry
with focusing in on individual trees, even when it is entirely inappropriate
to do so, is really quite depressing.

Subject: Re: BS5837- tree contribution
Luke's case is very common - frequently you get a collection of trees
that are nothing special individually, but which make a considerable
collective contribution to the landscape. Groups are likely to have
more conservation / ecological value than individuals. The BS is a
guide, there's nothing to stop you making a comment that the trees are
all Cs individually but that the group / copse / avenue warrants a B or
A. The logical approach might be to accept that some trees can go
provided the feature is retained in a reasonable form.
Its the same logic behind having group, woodland and area
classifications in TPOs
