-----Original Message----- From: Ron Harvey [mailto:ron.harvey@blueyonder.co.uk] Sent: 4 November 2002 15:25 To: 'cllr.jcoombs@richmond.gov.uk' Subject: Mill Farm Conditions. To Councillor J Coombs, and whosoever it may concern: Further to our conversation, last Friday morning, I visited the Civic Centre and eventually got to speak to Mr. Wilson, the officer presently in charge of the area. Rather than pay out the requisite 15 pound fee, I copied out pertinent selection of the planning conditions (appended below this message) as stated by the decision notice. In these respects there is much to be ill at ease about, but the first thing to do, hopefully, is to fully appreciate the truth of the matter. In that respect I have yet to speak to David Dawson, the GLA officer referred to within the conditions as copied below. My general intention in this is to educate elected members, there being no hope of improvement for as long as they are so naively willing to believe, at face value, the fictional versions so blithely reported to the York House pantomimes. I therefore expect to have a lot more to say in due course. In the mean time, please be welcome to call me, at any time at your own convenience: 020 8755 3587. It would at least be good to know that my messages get through. I have recently had to change my mail handle and somebody today told me that they'd got an error message when trying to send. with best wishes, Ron Harvey 75 Farm Road TW45PH ========================================= LA04A PROTECT TREES-SHOWN ON PLAN No equipment, machinery or materials are to be brought on the site for the purpose of the development until all the trees to be retained have been protected by fences or other suitable means of enclosure to the distance of the outermost limit of the branch spread or as per recommendations given in BS5837 (1991), Table A, "A Guide for Trees in Relation to Construction" whichever is the further from the tree and with regard to this proposal the protective fencing shall be at least 2.4m high, comprising a scaffolding framework, as in 8.2.2. of BS5837 (1991), supporting a minimum of 20mm exterior grade ply or other approved robust man-made boards as shown in BS5837 (1991), Figure 5, within which no activities associated with building operations shall take place, such areas also being free of the storage of materials or temporary structures.
