Applications for works to trees and hedgerows
New arrangements come into effect on 1 October 2008 for
applications for (i) works to trees either the subject of
Tree Preservation Orders or within Conservation Areas and (ii) the
service of Hedgerow Removal
Notices.
From that date, all such matters will be the subject of formal
validation procedures. Applications for works to trees the subject
of a
Tree Preservation Order will need to be made on a new national
form.
Applications for works to trees in Conservation Areas may be
made on the same form, the
Council's own form or in writing. Hedgerow Removal Notices may
be submitted on a new national form or the form set out in Schedule
4 of the Hedgerow Regulations 1997. In all cases, there are
national requirements for applications or notices to be valid.
These are set out in the Council's Validation Checklists V19 (Hedgerow Removal
Notices) and V23 (Works to Trees).
