02
All tree works detailed in condition 1 shall be carried out in accordance with British Standard 3998: 2010, unless otherwise stated in the application.
03
Please note the authorised works should be completed within 2 years of the decision notice otherwise a new application for consent to carry out any non-exempt tree work will be required.
Informative
01
Whilst there is no objection to the crown reduction works, it should be pointed out that all forms of pruning introduce wounds and decay into a tree’s structure. The greater the level of pruning the more structural damage will be caused to the tree; this may lead to further work being required in the future to maintain the tree’s safety.
02
Whilst Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council does not object to the proposed works, as the tree is owned by a third party, permission must first be sought from the tree owner to enter their land to carry out the works. Without receiving this permission anyone entering the land with the tree on it could be found to be trespassing.
