An amended location plan has been submitted showing revised siting for the kiosk, moved slightly further away from TPO trees - the council’s Arboricultural officer has been consulted and confirms no objection subject to a condition to ensure the trees are protected during construction and that foundations are hand dug only in any root protection areas.

Condition 3 to be amended to read as follows:

Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved (including demolition and all preparatory work) protective fencing around the trees protected by tree preservation order (TPO 1972 (9A)) shall be erected in accordance with BS 5837:2012 ‘Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction – Recommendations’ and shall be retained until the completion of the development and no vehicles, plant or materials shall be driven or placed within the areas enclosed by such fences. The construction of any foundations within the root protection areas of those trees (as defined in BS 5837:2012) shall be hand dug only.

In addition, for the avoidance of any doubt, condition 5 to be updated as follows:

Notwithstanding the details submitted, the works hereby permitted shall not take place until full details of the proposed kiosk and charging stand including their dimensions and colour/finish, and their exact location allowing for a minimum separation distance of 2.5 metres to any edge of a tree stem, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The works shall be implemented in strict accordance with the agreed details and maintained as such thereafter.

Typo: Condition 4 to be updated to read Prior to first use (not first occupation).
