REASON: To ensure that the works are carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practices. INFORMATIVE This permission is valid for a period of no more than 2 Years from the date of the decision, unless a condition states otherwise. Similarly this permission relates to a one off undertaking of the approved works unless a condition states otherwise. Prior to any tree works being carried out it is recommended that the tree(s) are inspected to ascertain the presence of any legally protected species (in particular birds, bats and badgers) that are likely to be affected by the approved works. If any protected species are discovered advice should be sought from appropriate organisations (RSPB or Natural England). If the trees subject to this application are situated on land not owned by the applicant, the applicant will need to get permission from the relevant land owners to undertake works to any parts of the trees that does not encroach over their land. The decision documents, including the decision notice, photos and plans, relating to this application are available to view in the 'Planning Online' section of the Council's website (www.dudley.gov.uk). Applicants, tree owners and contractors should satisfy themselves that the documents that they are working to are the correct documents prior to commencing any works to protected trees.
