In fact, they show Heras fencing erected in front and to the right of the blue toilet block (shown
in Drawing No: BR10304-002 A) on the south-west corner of the site. This is not part of the tree
protection fencing identified in the drawing.
Figure 1 below shows part of the site boundary from the south with the blue toilet block clearly
visible. It shows that trees T4 and T5 have been removed (contrary to the grant) and that a
large amount builder’s spoil and other waste has been left on the area set aside for the proposed
soft landscaping/planting and the 30-year Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP)
required under condition 11 of planning application 23/03826/F.
Figure 1: Part of the site boundary from the south with the blue toilet block.
No evidence has been presented that the images submitted with this application, or any other
images, were sent before ‘further construction work of any kind shall take place on the site’
to the Local Authority Case Officer, or that they were verified in writing by the Tree Officer. If
such evidence exists, please produce it.
Nor is there any evidence that the Local Planning Authority was given ‘not less than two weeks
prior written notice by the developer of the commencement of works on the site’ or that the
Council verified in writing that the approved tree protection measures were in place when the
work commenced. If such evidence exists, please produce it.
On the evidence so far presented, the applicant is in breach of condition 10. We invite the
Local Planning Authority to commence enforcement proceedings.
