[CANUFNET] tees as capital assets - UK makes a start

[Fisher, Brian]

Hopefully it was a municipal tree Michael.
A few years ago, one of the LM municipalities tried to get developers to
pay for trees which were removed for development and
the property owners were getting offers with an "all trees gone"
stipulation.
There was no requirement at that time for even a permit for private
property trees.
A lot of property owners were "felling & selling".

A propo of Julian Dunster's links to London's most valuable Plane tree,
The town of Sidney, BC has set a local precedent by requiring a
developer to pay the amenity value (TFM) for trees which will be removed
for a development permit. We were hired to appraise the value of these
trees. We hope other municipalities will follow Sidney's lead.
