Hi there,
I am considering building a granny flat on my Blacktown property though need to contend with a mature (20m plus hieght) Eucolyptus Tree. The tree restricts the optimal usage of the block
Council has rejected my application for removal, I have also sought arborist advice which has confirmed the tree's health and therefore doesn't support removal.
With the tree in place I can't build a sufficiently sized flat and don't feel I would be getting best use of the land. I know alsothat tree removals don't form part of a complying development application.
I know little about using the general DA process, would this option be viable and also approve the tree removal for the benefit of a dwelling? OR would they decline tree removal and ask me to modify my plans to maintain the tree?
