Question:

In 2017 planning permission was given to demolish the tea pavilion in Hove Park and build a restaurant.

It was agreed that a healthy elm tree could be felled provided replacement trees were planted once the restaurant was built.

The tree was felled but the new build hadn’t gone ahead.

Why does the planning committee not put a time limit between the felling of trees and the replacement of them?
