I'd agree with Edmund and set a 2 year period after which a re-inspection
should be carried out. Surely for vigorous trees the need to build further
away should be recognised and made apparent. I expect the Building Control
team would suggest deeper foundations for younger trees within influential
distance, though they're perhaps not the best people to identify species or
whether young/old/lacking vigour.

i) tree growth: a tree growing at 1 cm diameter per year will have its RPA
increasing in radius by
12 cm per year. If you are interested in that sort of tolerance the report
might become quickly out of date in a year; for many sites (no planned
disturbance of RPAs) and for many trees (slower growth than 1 cm) and knowing
many sites where if we got the metre distance of the fence right we would be
celebrating I think a few years (3,4?) would be fine.
