10) The development hereby permitted shall not commence until an Arboricultural Method Statement has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, to provide detailed mitigation measures, and detailed working methodology, to be undertaken around the designated Root Protection Areas of retained trees, which have been identified in the "Arboricultural Impact Assessment" as requiring the removal of existing hard surfacing. The approved Arboricultural Method Statement shall then be implemented in strict accordance with the specified sequence of operations outlined in this document.

Reason: To ensure that good arboricultural working practices are adopted in respect of construction methods used within the designated Root Protection Areas of retained trees, so as to prevent damage to their respective rooting systems.
