Prior to the removal of the tree(s), details regarding the size, species and location of a replacement tree(s) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The replacement tree(s) shall be planted within 12 months of removal of the tree(s).

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory replacement of the tree(s) to be removed.

The work must be carried out within two years from the date of this permission.

The works must be carried out by a suitably qualified tree professional.
Reason: 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.

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 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.

All species of bats and their roosts (whether the bats are present or not) are protected from reckless killing, disturbance or destruction under both national and European legislation. Cracks, cavities and holes in trees and buildings can provide suitable places for bats to rest or hibernate; these should be carefully inspected prior to carrying out any works. If bats are discovered during work on trees or are suspected of being present, the relevant work should be halted and Natural England (formerly English Nature) notified and further advice sought (http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/).
