    Also, the architect has now said we need to commission a tree survey identifying trees within 40m of the proposed works. I can't find any reference to this on the council website, is it a standard requirement for building regulations? We're in an urban area and there are no trees larger than an apple tree anywhere in the vicinity, so it feels like needless compliance.
    I’ve only had one BC authority request something similar and that was for trees within 200m!!! If I remember correctly, I think I just said there weren’t any.
