"Its 'not fair' that LPA's rely so much on the public to plant trees and do
little planting themselves."

What about the street trees.....parks & gardens.....cemeteries....? Maybe
there's a lack of quality in landscape management and lack of quantity in
numbers but given financial constraints do they really do that bad a job? 

I also think its entirely fair that LAs rely on the public to plant trees
and to maintain them as well. The T&CPA is a great tool for LAs to use....in
fact I'd go as far as to say LAs don't use it to their advantage enough
(although some are definitely starting to!).

Similar to Bill when I meet a client owning trees with TPO's I have to 
explain individual tree owners are 'penalised for the common good and they, 
as individuals, have to accept this fact.

On the other hand not enough trees are planted.

I do worry that my reports may get a wider circulation than I intend but I
don't recall doing much in Mansfield lately. Also I'd be unlikely to write
a  report based entirely on the premise that "it's not fair" I'd have told
the  client that it was as fair as the rather inequable system ever gets and
to find  another angle or forget it.

At this stage I would admit that I have pointed out to a local LPA  that
they can quite happily dish out TPOs with no regard to the BB whatsoever 
and
their punishment is nil. Meanwhile if your average owner of a TPO'd tree
gives such scant regard to the regs they'll get nobbled for a couple of
kilo-quid. That's certainly not fair.

However I'm sure Sean will have followed the BB's guidance to the letter,
and that this TPO is not just a simple way of foiling someone's otherwise
reasonable planning application.

Bill.
