ᐅ Tree Removal Justification for Permit Approval

Hello,

on our construction site, there are several birch trees that can only be cut down with a permit.

Our question is whether we can include the reason for the tree removal permit as the house construction and the building of a garage on the spot where the trees are located, or if it is also possible to apply for the permit based on the poor condition of the trees and the significant shading they cause for our future house.

Are there differences in replacement requirements (in terms of costs) or in replanting measures depending on the reason given for the tree removal permit?

Who has experience with this? Which justification and the resulting measures would be practical and involve the least effort/cost for us?

Our project is located in Berlin-Rudow.

Best regards

paulino

It is more straightforward to use the building project as the reason, especially if the birch trees are within the building area. If you claim the trees are "diseased," they must actually be, as someone will come to inspect and assess the trees based on that.

As far as I know, no. In any case, the municipality will provide you with a list of replacement shrubs to be planted.

Kind regards

Hello building expert,

It is true that the trees are also ill and therefore need to be cut down.
