Decision & conditions
decisionPlanning conditions
- To sustain, and enhance, local tree cover and amenity provision, replanting is required for removal of the Lawson Cypresss. In this respect, you are required to replant with an Chamaecyparis species, within 12 months of removal with one nursery grown, container grown stock trees of a minimum size of 3m in height and 10cm girth at the time of planting. This is known commonly as size 'standard' from tree nurseries. If within a period of 5 years from the date of planting that tree or any tree planted in replacement for it, is removed, uprooted, destroyed or dies (or becomes in the opinion of the local planning authority seriously damaged) then the tree shall be replaced to reflect the specification of the approved planting scheme in the next available planting season or in accordance with a timetable agreed in writing with the local planning authority. The tree must be planted in accordance with the Code of Practice for General Landscape Operations BS4428 1989 and BS 8545:2014 Trees: from nursery to independence in the landscape recommendations. Reasonably Trees must be watered throughout the growing season (April to October) ideally with rainwater to field capacity to ensure establishment. Trees should be mulched to reduce competition for water and soil drying. Stake and tie maintenance should be undertaken as required but support checked during each visit.''
