Technically, the LPA is not obliged to take comments made on applications to discharge condition into account. I fact you cannot use the comments tab on the portal I ignore this and submit comments by email anyway...but whether they are taken acout of is anyones's guess.
A Grampian condition is a type of planning permission condition that prohibits a development from starting or being occupied until certain, pre-determined works or obligations are completed, even if those works are on land not controlled by the applicant. These conditions are negatively worded and are typically used in exceptional circumstances to ensure that a planning benefit, such as highway improvements or affordable housing contributions, is secured before the development proceeds.

I guess you can only comment on this PA since the /F is decided? . The proposal was to plant the trees within the boundary of St Monica's so I was going to see how that plan is going on. BTW do you know what a Grampian condition is when its at home?

I have not come across this situation before where the area for development is limited within a wider estate. I should think the person to help with the rules is Jim Cliffe at BCC, but the Tree people at BCC surely know that.
I can easily find 17 sites on nearby streets - no problem. I have looked today and can mop them up readily, so BCC could as well!
BTW BCC Planning takes no notice at all of comments on Conditions applications. Many other Local Authorities do, but not Bristol.

The substantive application is 22/06112/F - 4 trees are to be lost (already gone) and 17 replacements planted under BTRS. However ther is an issue over where these are going to be planted. Officers report : "I therefore have no objection to the proposal going ahead, subject to the required 17 replacement trees being secured - planting on the estate has been offered but this is outside the red line and not on BCC land, so we will have to find a way to ensure it is enforceable."
OFFICER NOTE: While the officer's comments regarding the red line plan are acknowledged, the applicant has denoted the wider grounds of the site within a blue site ownership line, and so it is concluded that the replacement trees can be secured through conditioning of a detailed landscape plan as a Grampian condition.
From my knowledge of the site, it will be very hard to find suitable locations for 17 but I will check on my next visit on Nov 4 when I am meeting the estates manager.
