Proposed Submission Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document Review

Representation ID: 5530

Received: 05/03/2015

Respondent: Mr Arwel Owen

Legally compliant? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

DM10 clause (b) fails to anticipate that there may be other sound reasons for requiring works to a tree. The Policy should be reworded to reflect such cases. It restricts the criteria under which specific arboriculture activities will be permitted. However, landscape considerations (e.g. the creation of new green spaces) or transport considerations (e.g. the need to serve access to or within a development site) may offer sound justification for felling trees. In the context of a replacement policy being applied under DM10, these would be sound alternative reasons for undertaking works to a tree.
