So what the hell are you going to write, the tree is fine and dandy and you should stay 7m away plus care for it and protect it during construction etc or "yeah, she'll be cactus after they're done here might as well get rid of it?"
I thought having a protected tree meant designing around it to save it, might as well say ... protected trees on house sites are no longer protected and do the hell what you want.
Just stupid to me, they should be asking if the tree is suitably located (proving health etc OK) to design around. The report should be giving them information relating to the SULE of the tree. So if the tree is smack bang in the middle of a 500m2 block where a house is having to go then it doesnt matter a crapper what it is or how good it is ... it has to go so a house can be built.
Are you getting my drift?
