Ash tree problem

The response from the tree officer appears online objecting to the application. The main issue is with the request to take down the Ash tree because it is rotting. Unfortunately the arboricultural report we had obtained had not been included in the application while we were in Greece so he did not have the evidence for removal.

We submitted the evidence and provided answers to his other queries but unfortunately the officer the was on sick leave and noone else could override his comments.

Application validated

Arrived back from Greece and the application had not been validated and bat survey not arranged. After much chasing we arranged the survey and got an email confirming no bats so the application was finally validated and the clock could start ticking with expected end date October 14th.
