Hi Missy, are there any potential OHS, property or personal injury issues for the OC if they delay or deny approval?
I have seen a case where an owner put to the OC that if they deny or delay approval and the subject tree causes injury or property loss the OC could be liable.
This particular case involved trees hanging over an access route to one unit. After it was pointed out to the OC that if someone using the access was injured they they might be liable, the OC was quick to approve trimming.
