| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| 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. |
| It is recommended that tree surgery operations are carried out according to the British Standard (BS) 3998 - Recommendations for Tree Work (2010). The aim of BS 3998 (2010) is to ensure, as far as is possible, that damage to the trees being worked on, to neighbouring trees or nearby property is avoided. Also, to encourage best practice when planning and carrying out tree works and to ensure that the tree works are carried out in as safe a manner as is possible. Any professional tree worker will have a good understanding of this British Standard and will ensure that their working methods are compliant with it. |
| It is recommended that the works are carried out by a suitably qualified tree professional. This is 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. |
| 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. |
| It is recommended that replacement trees are planted in the interests of local amenity and the urban treescape. Some advice on choosing an appropriate tree can be found on the Royal Horticultural Society web pages using their "find a plant" search (https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/). Alternatively, you might like to have a look at the Trees and Design Action Group guide “Tree Selection for Green Infrastructure” (https://www.tdag.org.uk/uploads/4/2/8/0/4280686/tdag_speciesguidev1.3pdf.pdf) |
| Have you thought of planting a tree in your garden? Trees provide many benefits that includes their aesthetic value (they look nice), they can help slow surface water runoff which in turn helps to reduce flooding, they support wildlife, they can increase property value, they absorb carbon dioxide (carbon sequestration), they can improve air quality and they can improve mental wellbeing. |
| Proper watering is key to the successful establishment of newly planted trees. Water around the base of the tree regularly, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy. Underwatering can stress a tree, leading to its poor health and potentially death. Water often, adjusting for rainfall. Consistent hydration during the first three growing seasons (March to September) encourages strong root growth and helps a young tree thrive. Early watering effort leads to successful establishment and to a self-sustaining healthy, resilient tree in the future. |
