To ask Her Majesty's Government in respect of conditions attached to the granting of planning permission for landscaping with plants, hedges and trees that specify that it must take place during a particular “planting season”, what that means in relation to the months during which it is to take place. [HL4946]

Clarification of the terms of a condition attached to a planning permission is best sought from the decision-maker—usually a local planning authority—who granted the permission. In setting conditions, local planning authorities should ensure that they satisfy the six tests set out in DoE Circular 11/95 (Use of Conditions in Planning Permission), that they are necessary, relevant to planning, relevant to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise and reasonable in all other respects.
