Condition Details / Information Notes
This 'Notice of Consent' shall be extant for a period of 2 years from the date of this Notice. Should the works approved under this consent not be undertaken within this period, then a further Tree Preservation Order application would be required. Reason: To conform with the requirements of The Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations 2012.
No later than 7 days before works are to be carried out on the tree, written notice shall be given to the Local Planning Authority of the date when works shall commence. No works shall commence until the applicant's nominated contractor has discussed the works on site with a representative of the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To maintain the visual and environmental quality of the site and surrounding area in accordance with policy SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework
Consent is hereby granted for the works to the tree(s) subject to the limitations specified in the schedule attached hereto. All works shall be carried out in accordance with the schedule and in compliance with British Standard BS 3998:2010 "Recommendations for Tree Work". Reason:- To maintain the visual and environmental quality of the site and surrounding area in accordance with policy SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Notwithstanding any details on the submitted <forms/plans/photographs> the consent hereby granted is for the following works:- Schedule:- Sweet Chestnut (T1) – Remove epicormic growth from the main stem and lift the lower canopy to a maximum height of 3 metres above ground level. Only branches with a diameter of less than 10 centimetres shall be removed as part of this operation. Reason:- To ensure the work is carried out in such a manner as to maintain the quality of the environment in accordance with policy SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The proposed crown lift to five metres would detrimentally impact the sweet chestnut's amenity value, significantly altering its natural form and visual contribution to the landscape. Given the tree's current condition and setting, the extent of the proposed works is considered excessive and unjustified.
