In order to obtain a tree removal permit, the applicant must submit a map or plan showing the area of the woodlot and the number, location, type and size of trees to be removed.

(a) Where the applicant must receive a special use permit, site plan or subdivision review, this information should be included in the plans as required for such reviews as listed elsewhere in this chapter, indicating that a tree removal permit is also sought. In these instances, at the discretion of the Planning Board, both permits can be acted on under one review procedure.
(b) Where there is no requirement for any of the permits described above, other than a tree removal permit, the information required for review shall be submitted to the Director of Planning, head of the Building Department, or similar officer or designee who, together with the Town Conservation Board and any other official or agency deemed appropriate, shall review the request and act upon it within 30 working days of submission.
(c) This section shall not apply in an emergency situation where a tree or parts of it shall become a hazard to life and property or where a tree would block or hinder access on public or private rights-of-way due to storm damages. This does not mean to allow the topping of trees under utility wires.
