4. The tree works hereby consented shall be completed within 2 years of the date of this permission and shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details and to British Standard for Tree Work BS3998:2010
5. Replacement tree planting for trees 73, 74 and 38 must take place as soon as possible after the tree removal and no later than the end of the following planting season (October - April). The replacement trees shall be 2no. Pinus sylvestris and 1no. Magnolia grandiflora and be of a minimum of 10-12cm girth. Planting must be in accordance with BS:8545. Reason: To conserve the character of the locality.
6. For a period of no less than 10 years after planting, trees which are removed, die or become seriously damaged shall be replaced as soon as is reasonably practicable with others of the same species, size and number as originally approved. Reason: To conserve the character of the locality.
7. Note to Applicant: It is considered that, subject to compliance with the conditions attached to this permission, the proposed tree works are acceptable because they will not materially harm the character of the area, the amenity of neighbours or highway safety, and are in accordance with the policies and proposals of the development plan and after due regard to all other relevant material considerations the local planning authority is of the opinion that permission should be granted. Note to applicant: All works hereby consented should be carried out by a suitably qualified and insured tree surgeon. A copy of the decision notice should be given to the Tree Surgeon. Note to applicant: Deadwood may be removed at any time without an application. Note to applicant: Please be advised that the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as amended, the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and the Conservation (Natural Habitats) Regulations 1994 protect ALL wild birds, their nests (whether in use or being built) and eggs and other wild animals including bats and their roosts in or adjacent to trees.

Consider retention of deadwood where it is safe to do so.
