Informatives:-

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, The Habitat Regulations 1994, The Countryside and Rights of Way Act (Natural Habitats) (Amendment) Regulations 2007 it is an offence to: - Intentionally take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird whilst it is in use or being built; - Intentionally or recklessly disturb any wild bird while it is nest building, or at a nest containing eggs or young, disturb the dependent young of such a bird; - Intentionally or recklessly disturb a bat in its roost or deliberately disturb a group of bats; - Damage or destroy a bat roosting place (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time).

In the light of this legal protection, it is recommended that any works to trees where birds and/or bats are known to, or are likely to, nest/roost, be avoided during the bird nesting season (usually March to August) and/or the advice of a bat specialist is obtained.

Information relating to appeals against the decision of the Local Planning Authority If you are aggrieved by this decision to refuse consent for tree works or to grant it subject to conditions, then you can appeal to the Secretary of State under the provisions in Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation)(England) Regulations 2012.

Time periods to submit appeal

Any appeal must be made within 28 days of the date of receipt of the Authority’s decision. If you intend to submit an appeal that you would like examined by inquiry then you must notify the Local Planning Authority and Planning Inspectorate ([email protected]) at least 10 days before submitting the appeal. Further details are on https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notification-of- intention-to-submit-an-appeal

The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal. The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to the Secretary of State that permission for the proposed development could not have been given by the Council or could not have been given without the conditions imposed having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of the development order and to any directions given under a development order and to any directions given under a development order.

In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the local planning authority based their decision on a direction given by him.

Appeals can be made online at https://www.gov.uk/appeal-planning-decision If you are unable to access the online appeal form, please contact the Planning Inspectorate to obtain a paper copy of the appeal form at Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN or tel no. 0303 444 5000
