Town and country Planning Act 1990 (while it lasts) S.197 – this is our
primary legislation folks!
I think we all tend to conveniently (or deliberately) forget that LPAs have a
statutory obligation to consider making TPO's at the same time as considering
planning applications. Perhaps the LPA in question should be applauded for
its effort, how many LPA’s can demonstrate how the S.197 duty is fulfilled…?
Maybe when 'planning for the future' we need 'pattern books' for permitted
tree works - or perhaps we just adequately resource LPA's to make
better/quicker decisions, review their existing TPO’s and enable LPA’s to
revoke redundant TPO’s and make new ones where justified on a more strategic
basis?
