A replacement tree shall be species Cherry (Prunus avium) and shall be planted within the first available planting season following the felling of the TPO tree hereby approved. The tree should be a minimum 12-14cm girth, and shall be planted in a suitable position within five metres of the original position of the removed tree in order to provide suitable replacement amenity value for the surrounding areas. The tree is to be suitably protected, maintained and watered to ensure successful establishment.

If the newly planted tree dies or fails to establish it will be replaced with a tree of the same species and specification until it is properly established and reaches a girth of 30cm's.

Reason - To ensure the character of the conservation area is retained and that trees of value, which contribute to the character of the area, are successfully established.”
