Article 14 Felling or lopping of treesI1

The undertaker may fell or lop any tree or shrub near any part of the authorised development, or cut back its roots, if it reasonably believes that it is necessary to do so to prevent the tree or shrub—

In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1) the undertaker may not cause unnecessary damage to a tree or shrub.

The undertaker must compensate any person who sustains loss or damage by reason of the exercise of the authority conferred by this article for that loss or damage.

Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (3), or any dispute as to the amount of compensation, is to be determined under Part 1(determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.
