L10 - PROPOSALS INVOLVING FELLING OR OTHER WORKS AFFECTING TREES COVERED BY A TREE PRESERVATION ORDER

The District Council will assess applications for consent to fell or carry out other works to trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders, having regard to:

the health and stability of the trees; and
the continuing contribution of the trees to public amenity and the character of the area.

In the case of any tree for which felling consent is granted, the Council will normally impose a condition requiring replacement planting to be carried out. Proposals for felling or other tree works which would negate the objectives of a Tree Preservation Order or otherwise damage the public amenity of the trees or their contribution to the character of the locality will not be granted consent except where special circumstances can be demonstrated and acceptable alternative planting and management proposals agreed.
