I know in Camden when I was there they quoted £1,000+ per tree to plant in
streets and it could take quite a few goes to find some where to get the tree
in!!

This appears like a simple question but it can become very complicated when
you look into it.

Subject: Re: A "reasonable" commuted sum for tree planting.
You're not kidding ben! Some of the responses have been quite honestly
frightening. My idea of reasonable is quite clearly different to everybody
else's. I was looking for an average; quite clearly the cost of sticking a
whip in a slit is nothing like £765, and honestly the cost of hacking a hole
in the pavement is nothing like £3,319. Figures like these are only going to
discourage tree-growing....
The LPA that prompted my thread use the same flat (they claim average)
figure, and apart from the fact that they didn't only want trees based on 2
for 1 removed, they also wanted another tree for every 50 square metres of
habitable area. As I was dealing with a nursing home development of 3000
square metres they were going to want a commuted sum for planting 60 trees
plus the compensation for removed ones.
The LPA in question claim the fund is ring-fenced, so if this job goes to
appeal we'll no doubt be asking to see the accounts of the fund. I suspect
it's just a money raising scheme but hey ho.
Bill.
