Condition Details / Information Notes
The tree works hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 (Tree Work). Reason: To attempt to avoid damage to the tree or neighbouring trees, property and services and encourage best practice in planning works and safe operations.
The work must be carried out within two years from the date of this permission. Reason: As trees continue to grow, altering in shape and size, some works granted consent may become inappropriate and will require up to date assessment.
The works must be carried out by a suitably qualified tree professional. Reason: to ensure, as far as is possible, that damage to the tree or neighbouring trees, property and associated services is avoided and to ensure, as far as is possible, the adherence to best practice in the planning and execution of the tree works and the use of safe operational procedures.
No works shall commence until the applicant’s nominated contractor has discussed the works with a representative of the Local Planning Authority. Contact should be made with the Council no later than 7 days before works are to be carried out on the tree. Reason: To ensure that only works approved under this consent are undertaken.
Prior to the removal of the tree(s), details regarding the size, species and location of a replacement tree(s) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The replacement tree(s) shall be planted within 12 months of removal of the tree(s). If within a period of five years from the date of planting, the tree(s) (or any other tree(s) planted in replacement for it/them) is/are removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies, another tree/other trees of the same size and species shall be planted at the same place, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory replacement of the tree(s) to be removed.
Information and advice on appointing an appropriately qualified and experienced tree surgeon can be found on the Natural Environment pages of the Malvern Hills District Council website at the following address or alternatively contact the Landscape Officer 01684 862407. https://www.malvernhills.gov.uk/planning/heritage/the-natural-environment/choosing-a-tree-surgeon
All wild bird species are legally protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) from any form of disturbance between the onset of nest building and until such time as any dependent young have left the nest, principally from the beginning of March to the end of August.
All species of bats and their roosts (whether the bats are present or not) are protected from reckless killing, disturbance or destruction under both national and European legislation. Cracks, cavities and holes in trees and buildings can provide suitable places for bats to rest or hibernate; these should be carefully inspected prior to carrying out any works. If bats are discovered during work on trees or are suspected of being present, the relevant work should be halted and Natural England (formerly English Nature) notified and further advice sought (http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/). For more information about bats and the law, please go to the Bat Conservation Trust website: http://www.bats.org.uk/ For information on surveying for bats in trees and woodland please have a look at the following guide: https://cdn.bats.org.uk/uploads/pdf/BSI-Bat-Microguide-UK-EN.pdf?v=1549304693
The works will be restricted to those approved under application reference 21/01180/TPOA (as specified in the "management recommendations" section of the tree survey table that forms part of the submitted Tyler Grange tree survey report (reference TG Report No. 13951_R01a_RA_CW) (tree reference numbers in report T3, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10 and T11)), and the felling of sycamore T10 and the crown reduction of sycamore trees T1 and T2 by up to 3 metres in accordance with the terms of the application documents submitted in support of application reference 21/01180/TPOA, dated 14 June 2021
