7.Works to Trees Informative Even though consent has been obtained as part of this Certificate of Lawfulness, care needs to be taken to avoid harming all trees adjacent to the application site. Damaging trees, even indirectly, could lead to legal action being taken by the tree's owner to seek compensation through the Courts for damages that arise from a number of factors, including the loss of amenity should the tree have to be removed or any damage that results from falling or collapsing timber. You should also ensure that care is taken to open the ground carefully before any foundations are laid and for the position of roots, especially supporting roots , is determined and that any measure needs to retain the tree's roots, (especially the supporting roots) are carried out. This may involve bridging over roots or using a piled type of foundation to avoid trenching. Prior to commencement of works, it is suggested that the applicant contacts the Council's Tree Officer and the Park's Team regarding the proposed development.
8.Building Regs This certificate provides confirmation that the development is lawful. You should also check whether the development requires separate Building Regulation consent. Information is available on the Building Control webpages and the team is available between 9am and 10am Monday to Friday via 01708 432700.
