trees to be removed not of sufficient amenity value to warrant objection; recommends hawthorn/blackthorn replanting
DEFA Arboricultural Officer has no objection to the proposed removal of a line of low-quality trees at The Cool Smithy IOM Business Park site, subject to retention of boundary trees and implementation of a specified replanting scheme.
DEFA Arboricultural Officer
Conditional No ObjectionGiven that Dandara would retain all the boundary line trees and implement a scheme of replanting I think it unlikely that this Department will object to the proposed development on account of the removal of these trees.; Replacement species along the road frontage should include a mix of hawthorn and blackthorn (size 30cm – 45cm, bare rooted and planted at 45 cm spacing between November and March).
Conditions requested: Retain all the boundary line trees; Implement a scheme of replanting with a mix of hawthorn and blackthorn (size 30cm – 45cm, bare rooted and planted at 45 cm spacing between November and March) along the road frontage
