Summary

The following Arboricultural Method Statement and Tree Protection Plan provide details on the specification and position of the required tree protection measures for this site. These protection measures most likely form all or part of a planning condition and therefore must be adhered to in full at all times.

If there is any deviation from the Arboricultural Method Statement and/or Tree Protection Plan, the project arboriculturist (tree specialist) must be informed immediately.

A 'Tree protection record of supervision' sheet has been provided below to help guide any monitoring process.

Annex 5. - Arboricultural Method Statement

1. Protective fencing and exclusion zones

1.1. Temporary protective fencing (as displayed below) will be installed to demarcate a Construction Exclusion Zone (CEZ) represented by orange hatch and a magenta line in the accompanying Tree Protection Plan (TP-26916v2). 1.2. The fencing will be installed for the purpose of excluding all construction activity and will consist of: heavy duty metal fencing panels fastened together and supported with manufacturer recommended ties, feet and stays. 1.3. The fencing will be fully installed prior to any demolition or construction activity and remain in place and fully effective until work is complete. 1.4. All weather notices will be attached to every second panel, clearly displaying words such as CONSTRUCTION EXCLUSION ZONE - NO ACCESS (see below). 1.5. The protective fencing will not be moved or disassembled without prior approval from the project arboriculturist. 1.6. Materials will not be stored within the CEZ. 1.7. Site personnel will not be permitted access within the CEZ. 1.8. All protective fencing will be inspected by the project arboriculturist prior work commencing and the inspection documented in the record of supervision. 1.9. The project arboriculturist will be informed by the site manager if the fencing is moved or if its specification is different from that described above.
