Mature trees should not be removed. The timescale to regrow is significant and the lossto the environment and the trees contribution to carbon sequestration should not beunderestimated

I object to any tree felling on this site.The owner has devastated this site by the removal of huge quantities of trees without priorapproval. This will have had a massively detrimental impact on the wildlife which was once ahaven. The wildlife corridor that all locals are aware of and Bristol City Council should be aware of,is being decimated here by a greedy, sly, developer who has absolutely zero interest or regard forwildlife or the local community. The destruction this developer has caused already is criminal andit would be criminal to allow it to continue.

I wish to put on record my objection to the latest planning application on the site of the formerWyevale Garden Centre on the A4 Bath Road. The reasons for my objection are as follows:

1. The developer in question, which seems to change its name with every application but is morecommonly known as the Litt Brothers, have an extremely poor record when it comes to followingplanning rules and procedures. In fact, they have even been featured in a BBC report because oftheir behaviour at other sites in the Bristol area. They simply cannot be trusted to act responsiblyand in the interests of the environment and the local community.2. Many trees have previously been removed from the site without permission. A large number ofthese trees were burnt on site with no supervision. This land was then used as a dumping groundfor building rubble and covered with hard standing, all of this without permission. In December,2020, the Planning Inspectorate upheld Bristol City Council's decision that this was anunacceptable and inappropriate development of the Green Belt.3. The trees that form the basis of this latest planning application are for the most part perfectlyhealthy and do not require much if any remedial work. It is unacceptable to remove perfectlyhealthy trees without good reason, especially in a climate and ecological emergency. Thecompany claims they will replace the trees but this has yet to happen with the acres of trees theyhave already removed without permission.4. The trees in question are located near a busy, main road and play an important role in reducingthe impact of pollution. We should be planting more trees in this area, not removing the ones wealready have. The removal of these trees will have a detrimental impact on pollution levels in thearea.

5. The trees form an important habitat for local wildlife. We will soon be entering the nesting

season in which trees are vital to support our many bird species.6. The trees are located adjacent to the Bath Road allotments and form a vital windbreak.7. Due to the developer's previous poor behaviour on the site, all the trees remaining are subjectto Tree Preservation Orders. The developer claims they need to remove the trees for storage, yetmany of the trees lie along the boundary of the site and would hardly be in the way of any storage.

8. There is no evidence of an Environmental Impact Assessment having been undertaken, surelya prerequisite before such an application can be considered.

The developer on this site removed large numbers of trees without permission from thissite last year. A TPO was subsequently implemented by BCC but not before the vast majority oftrees had been cut down. Those trees are lost and cannot be replaced - there should therefore beno more trees cut down on this site.

The developer gives the reason for removing the trees as to create a storage area. They have justhad an appeal on a previous application to create a hard-standing storage area on the site deniedat appeal because the site is in the Green belt.

The developer in question has a very bad reputation amongst the local community for actingwithout planning permission and the fear is that after cutting down these trees, they will buildsomething on this area without permission to do so, and then claim it as a fait accomplis.

on 2021-01-19   OBJECT

It is beyond any logical reasoning why these trees and hedge row should be destroyed.

There has been no formal planning application for this site and it appears to me to be a case ofblatant and wanton destruction for destruction's sake.

The track record of this developer is well known in South Bristol for their apparent total disregardof planning and building regulations.

If Mayor Rees has declared an Ecological Emergency, shouldn't these trees and hedgerows havepreservation orders on them? People was quick enough to put POs on the spindly ash trees off ofBroomhill Road recently but seems totally incapable of protecting the majestic and mature trees onthe A4.

I would be very happy to speak to this objection if and when this application comes beforecommittee.

on 2021-01-19   OBJECT

The developer has repeatedly ignored restrictions, I have no faith that any futureplanning requirements would be adhered to. The immediate area does not have the rightamenities to support a community and would therefore add further traffic to an already heavilyloaded artery into and out of Bristol.

on 2021-01-19   OBJECT

I would like to object to more trees being felled at this site.

The trees have a current TPO and should be protected. Several trees were taken down withoutpermission prior to this and the owners are yet to replace them The site is on the busy A4 corridorand are needed to combat air pollution levels.

The trees that form this planning application appear to be healthy .

The trees in question are located near a busy, main road and play an important role in reducingthe impact of pollution. The removal of these trees will have a detrimental impact on pollutionlevels in the area.

The trees form an important habitat for local wildlife. We will soon be entering the nesting seasonin which trees are vital to support our many bird species.

The developer claims they need to remove the trees for storage, yet many of the trees lie alongthe boundary of the site and would hardly be in the way of any storage.

I understand that the applicant has raised an area of land, adjacent to the old gardencentre, to the ground, with callous disregard for the wildlife and ecology as a whole. This wouldmost likely have included the death and injury of legally protected species, is therefore illegal andagainst local authority policy. The area should be fully reinstated.

on 2021-01-17   OBJECT

Even if this application is for only 5 trees, I would urge the council to be very cautiousbefore granting planning permission to this company for anything at all. They have shown acomplete disregard for TPOs already in place, ignored any ecological and wildlife concerns,carried on burning of vegetation, dumping rubbish on site and been generally uncooperative withprofessional bodies who have the right and duty to dictate what can and can't be done on what isrented land. I am concerned that if permission is granted, they will not stick to the agreement andonce further trees and scrub are removed it will be too late. How can this land possibly to itsformer state?

on 2021-01-14   OBJECT

If Bristol really is serious about doing something about climate change then allowingtrees to be felled, especially healthy ones, is not a good idea. Additionally, trees provide naturalhabitats for so many different species which are important to the eco system and they should notbe endangered because of greedy developers who already have a poor reputation.

I object to the further removal of trees from this area. Current trees are a wildlife havenand provide a sound break from the busy A4 road. I object to these particular developers as theyare renowned as poor quality builders who openly flout planning rules. The environmental impactis huge and will be a terrible blight on land bordering green belt. They have already destroyedmature trees during bird nesting season, and openly burned them.They have used the land as a dumping ground. They have zero regard for the wildlife. They willnot stick to any outline planning permission as they regularly flout planning laws and they are sopoor a whole BBC watchdog style documentary focused on their appalling behaviour. They arepersonally toxic as well as polluting the actual environment with their building waste. If BCCapproves any further proposal from these individuals then it seriously calls into question the ethicsof the Planning committee. If I burned down, polluted and destroyed the land next to my house Iwould not expect to be rewarded with planning permission.BCC should move to compulsory purchase this land, due to these brothers being unable toproperly maintain it and prevent pollution and destruction.

Trees should never be felled unless they are diseased. On such a busy road producingso much pollution trees are vital.

I am objecting to the latest planning application by the owners of the former WyevaleGarden Centre -Wyevale Tree Felling 20/06131/VP

I wish to put on record my objection to the latest planning application on the site of the formerWyevale Garden Centre on the A4 Bath Road. The reasons for my objection are as follows:

1. The developer in question, which seems to change its name with every application but is morecommonly known as the Litt Brothers, have an extremely poor record when it comes to followingplanning rules and procedures. In fact, they have even been featured in a BBC report because oftheir behaviour at other sites in the Bristol area. They simply cannot be trusted to act responsiblyand in the interests of the environment and the local community.2. Many trees have previously been removed from the site without permission. A large number ofthese trees were burnt on site with no supervision. This land was then used as a dumping groundfor building rubble and covered with hard standing, all of this without permission. In December,2020, the Planning Inspectorate upheld Bristol City Council's decision that this was anunacceptable and inappropriate development of the Green Belt.3. The trees that form the basis of this latest planning application are for the most part perfectlyhealthy and do not require much if any remedial work. It is unacceptable to remove perfectlyhealthy trees without good reason, especially in a climate and ecological emergency. Thecompany claims they will replace the trees but this has yet to happen with the acres of trees theyhave already removed without permission. Simply planting a sapling does not make up for the lossof biodiversity when felling a mature tree.4. The trees in question are located near a busy, main road and play an important role in reducingthe impact of pollution. We should be planting more trees in this area, not removing the ones we

already have. The removal of these trees will have a detrimental impact on pollution levels in thearea. Mature trees recycle far more carbon dioxide and retain far more water (re flooding) than asapling.5. The trees form an important habitat for local wildlife. We will soon be entering the nestingseason in which trees are vital to support our many bird species.6. The trees are located adjacent to the Bath Road allotments and form a vital windbreak.7. Due to the developer's previous poor behaviour on the site, all the trees remaining are subjectto Tree Preservation Orders. The developer claims they need to remove the trees for storage, yetmany of the trees lie along the boundary of the site and would hardly be in the way of any storage.

Trees have been felled and hardstanding increased despite being refused prior planningpermission twice, this developer has been ignoring proper procedure and has no regard for theenvironmental reasons for keeping as much greenery as possible. Habitat loss is a series matterand this developer has shown no regard for it, not playing by the rules.

The Government Planning Inspectorate that upheld Bristol City Council decision that the creationof hard standing would constitute inappropriate development of the Green Belt. This decision wasposted on 17th December the day before the new planning application by the company to removemore trees. The company have continued to add more hard standing to the site and there aremany mounds of builders rubble and soil on site, removed from their other sites aroundBrislington.

We are in an environmental emergency with species loss and global warming increasing. Wecannot allow this to happen any more , especially in Brislington where we are facing loss ofBrislington meadows already.

Please can BCC look into this urgently and ensure that trees are compensated for by replantingand this developer is held to account.

on 2021-01-11   OBJECT

Please do not fell these trees. They are vital to this heavily polluted area to help cleanthe air. They also provide habitats to wildlife.

on 2021-01-11   OBJECT

The company that had applied for this planning permission has constantly ignoredprevious orders to stop all work and continued to develop this site having already cut down manyhealthy trees without permission. Someone should be held accountable for allowing this tocontinue for so long.

on 2021-01-11   OBJECT

This is an area of woodland and has no planning permission. The developers haveignored previous restrictions yet are still on site causing more damage. As they have no planningpermission there can be no reason to fell more trees. The developers must be stopped before theycause permanent damage to this area.

This is no time to be cutting down trees this well established. They will take at least halfa century if not more to be replaced and with the current environmental emergency that the councilthemselves have acknowledged, there is no justification for such an action. Development canhappen on site but around the existing trees. There is enough space to incorporate this into theplan and many benefits may be obtained from retaining them if some thought put into the design.We must protect nature and work with it instead of against it, if we have hope of changing ourcurrent trajectory.

There is no evidence provided in the application for this tree feeling that justifies therequirement. There is no reference to an EIA screening report having been done, which should bedone before any such applications can be assessed. There is no available plan for the site thatresidents can look at and engage with to ensure that work will result in a net biodiversity gain forthe site as per the DEFRA metric(http://publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/5850908674228224). There is nothingreferencing how this entire development respects and maintains the green belt. There has beenno community engagement at all from this developer.

It is incredibly concerning that the developer has already illegally felled mature trees on this siteand as a result was instructed to replace them. However, there are no indications they will comply.Furthermore, they continue to work on the site, e.g. putting down hard standing, despite an orderfrom the council to desist.

This developer should be fined and banned from the site immediately, unless they comply with thetree replacement orders and desist orders with immediate effect, and provide the necessaryinformation regarding biodiversity metrics and standards. No further applications should begranted.

The actions of this developer at this site are shameful and the council needs to grip this issue as amatter of urgency, as per the binding aspirations expressed in its Ecological Emergency documentand as per the One City agenda.

Too many trees already felled illegally, this MUST STOP. Allotment holders have saidwildlife seriously effected already. Exactly what will be built on this site? Affordable housing forlocal people? Infrastructure, schools, GP surgeries, Dentists, plus? Urgently needed in the area.Also, the proposed relocation of the Brislington Park & Ride and more housing being built and TheMeadows St Annes again any Affordable housing for Bristolians.HOW MANY MORE TREES WILL BE AFFECTED IN OUR AREA, not only on this application.

Hello,once again I'm forced to object to what's going on behind wyvale garden centre bythe litt brothers and what other names they might go by. I was told they had to re-place trees thatthey had removed before (which they I might add have not) and that they're preservation orders onsome of them now because of this. How in the hell can they now ask to cut more down,it's an utterdisgrace! Nothing seems to be done about this company. They have tramac the area that they hadbeen refused planning to twice and no one has been out to check on this. ive been told by areliable source from their office that they're quite happy to do it anyway and pay the fines thismakes a joke of the whole system,but I suppose they get away with it!! I also believe some of thetrees they want to remove are behind fencing belonging to the allotments/council so they have noright to touch them. The wildlife and nature they have destroyed is disgusting,lots of animals birdsetc have been displaced and killed because of what they've done on this site and enough isenough! Someone must take immediate action to sort this company out,they think their above thelaw. The notice they put on the gate was done just before Christmas where no one could see. Itwasn't put on any of the main gates within public view,once again very underhanded actions of aunderhanded company. I beg you to please put a stop to all they are trying to do and sendsomeone up there to check on what's being done in there and make them do what they've beentold to do ie replace the trees they've already demolished

Tons of trees have been cut down and not replaced which they have been ordered to doso after forestry department go involved. After cutting down previous trees they piled them up,covered them in petrol and set fire to them. A huge amount of wild life have lost their homesalready and considering the current climate, I don't think we should loose any more trees

As part of the bath road allotment I have been dismayed by the devistation thedeveloper has alread done with no regards to planning permission and to think the trees around uswould be removed not only a great loss of mature trees but also wind and weather break

I am disgusted that this application is given air time. After the wonton destruction ofwonderful natural habitat that has been raped & pillaged by uncaring thoughtless mindlessheathens. No permission was given, they clearly have no morals. So I absolutely OBJECT in thestrongest way. These money grabbing filth need to be locked up for the murder of millions ofinsect & wild life.

PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS APPLICATION!

My allotment backs on to this site so I am very against this application to remove trees .The wildlife that lives in the trees are paramount to the survival of many animals . We are meant tobe planting more trees not pulling them down .Not only are the trees on the site of the allotmentbut they have a preservation act . They have already taken down trees illegally. If these trees weretaken down it would be a travesty not only on wildlife but would effect all of the allotments behindthe trees . Greenhouses , pets , ponds , planting , it would effect all of these things . It is disgustingwhat they have been allowed to do already

This is disgusting, they have already taken down trees that had a preservation act howmuch more damage to the environment will they cause . Why has this not been dealt with . A fineis not enough , they are a very rich company a fine means nothing to them . These trees will neverbe able to be replaced

I would like to the removal of protected trees at the rear of bath road allotments. Theowners have already removed 100 trees from this area without permission. It appears they dowhat ever they want then pay the pautry fines. If the trees between the garden centre and theallotments are removed. Apart from the impact on the environment. People would be able to walkstraight into the allotments

Dear Mr Bennett

I strongly oppose the recent application for felling of trees on the above site for the following reasons:-

1. Bristol has declared an "Ecological Emergency" Feb 2020, with a pledge to create more space for nature, with 30% of land in Bristol managed for the benefit of wildlife, how can this proposed felling of trees take place?

2. This land is greenbelt and provides a much needed area for wildlife and all the trees have a TPO for this reason.

3. Previous felling of trees last Feb 2020 was carried out without permission and the area has been used to bury construction waste.

4. Totally disregard for the planning process and no attempt to restore the land to it's previous condition, I don't think the owners will plant more trees to mitigate those that are proposed to be felled if they are unable to observe planning regulations in the first place & who will enforce it?

5. There will also be a loss of 9.1 hectares with the proposed housing development locally on the Brislington Meadows, site allocation BSA1201, which will also probably result in more trees and hedgerows being destroyed and felled, if this goes ahead more valuable green space will be lost on both counts.

6. Silverback Arboricultural consultancy have indicated that there are no reasons to

fell the trees due to disease or danger.

7. Has an ecological survey been carried out on the area? This is a rich wild life habitat that is vital for deer, foxes, badges, hedgehogs, rabbits, birds, birds of prey, slowworms, bats the list is endless for an area such as this which is surrounded by fields and hedgerows.

8. If the "Spacial Plans" were rejected for this site a year or so ago for housing on the recommendation that planners had to go back to the drawing board to find more brown field sites instead of green belt, then doesn't this overrule any change of use from current green belt land?

Yours sincerelyHilary Rydon

Further felling of trees on this site will have more detrimental impact on the wildlife ontop of the harm already caused by the previous felling of trees.

How can this company put in another application to remove more trees the day aftertheir appeal to the Planning Inspectorate was dismissed! The dates being 17th December 2020 forthe planning inspectorate decision and the new application beIng 18th December 2020. ThePlanning Inspectorate agreed with Bristol City Council and the local objectors in Brislington thatthe company were unlawful in their removal of trees and with their creation of hard standing forstorage. We must remember that this is Green Belt land and as such should be protected. Thecompany should be made to stop all work on site and that includes its use as an unlicensedconstruction waste site.

I object that the tree felling by a company taken down trees on the site and filling in theholes with debris from another site they are developing in the St. Anne's area.

The company does not have plans to dismantle the trees on this site and they should be enforcedto replace the trees and discontinue working on this site.

This is environmentally detrimental to the area which already suffers from high level ofpollution. We should be protecting our local wild life and helping the environment to thrive.

I have just seen the planning application to remove another 13 trees from this site (hundreds have already been removed without planning permission). The application says it is toprovide more space in storage area, the planning inspectorate have already dismissed an appealby this company for this site, as a large part of the land has already been hard landscaped withoutthe appropriate permissions their appeal was dismissed 17th Dec.I may be cynical but I question why this was put in just before the Christmas holidays, last timethey felled trees it was done over an Easter bank holiday and this is now the reason why there areTPO's on all trees on this greenbelt site. There was considerably community outrage at the time.Having looked at their supporting documentation most of the trees are around boundary so do noteffect storage space, and none required immediate action to make safe when surveyed, and a fairproportion are in fair condition.This company ( who have changed their name at least 3 times whilst illegally doing work on thesite) have a poor record and I am baffled why work still continues on site when their retrospectionplanning application and appeal have both been dismissed due to the lack of supporting evidenceand that this is important greenbelt land for Bristol and they do not give exceptional reasons!Has a bat survey been done? After 2 years an ecological survey has still not been completed byland owners for this site. But they continue to add new hardstanding and bury tons of constructionwaste without any penalties or prosecutions.I strongly object to any more trees being removed from this site

I strongly object to the further felling of trees on this site. The detrimental effect on thewildlife / ecosystem and increased risk to flooding in the area is not in line with Bristol's greenpolicies and is unnecessary.

I object to the way this company seem to think they are above the law by felling treeswithout permission. I object to the felling of more trees on this site.

The tree removal request is another application to destroy a natural resource and isanother ploy to completely destroy the ecology of the site which the council in our name mustprotect.As a storage area firstly what for and why when they have a empty site.

on 2021-01-06   OBJECT

I understand that this planning application proposes removing another 13 trees from thesite and this follows hundreds previously removed without planning permission. In the currentclimate, any felling of trees as to be supported by robust evidence and this is not evident.There has been countless objections to previous work by the same company, and I strongly objectagainst planning permission and encourage further investigations of some of the practicesundertaken without permission. This is greenbelt land and these practices are not lawful orappropriate and I strongly object to more trees being removed.

My comment

Dear Planning Officer,

I wish to formally object to the planning application 20/06131/VP.

1) The trees are subject to TPO due to hundreds of trees being removed without permission. The site has already been drastically changed and removal of more trees will cause more wildlife and ecological impact. We will shortly be coming into Spring again when wild birds will be nesting.

2) The supporting tree report does not recommend any action required at this time. The application form confirms they are not diseased or causing any property damage.

3) The application says that they will replant elsewhere. I don't see anything on the plans to show where they will be replanted. The company has already chopped down hundreds of trees without replanting any. I find it very difficult to take their word for it. I imagine the replanted trees will not be the same size and have the same impact on ecology or air quality.

4) On the same site , retrospective planning has been refused. Appeals have been rejected . Yet the company has not returned ground to its previous state. Why would the council approve further planning whilst this is still outstanding.

5) The reason for further storage space in my view seems hard to understand. There appears to be more than enough space.

6) By removing more trees this further harms the character and visual appearance of the countryside. The removal of more trees also significantly harms the openness of the Green Belt

In my view the reason for needing the trees removed doesn't meet the bar. I strongly disagree with any more perfectly good trees being cut down in the name of "more storage area".

Many Thanks

William Moore
