Re: Hornsby Council Refuses Tree Removal Request I think when you look at Dr K Coder's chart of CRZ you'll see that the 3m rule accomodates trees up to trunk diameters of 1m.
So likely an assumption is that trees within 3m of buildings etc may ....
1/ Suffer root issues destabilizing them.
2/ Encroach upon neighbours land for CRZ and TPZ when near a fenceline.
Seems a rational argument however each tree should still be assessed on it's own merits, for example, a 0.3m DBH tree only has a 2.2m CRZ and can be closer etc. |
