                        (c)     subsection (1) does not apply—

                                          (i)       if the owner of the adjacent land consents to the construction of the building or to the size of the tree (as the case may be); or

                        (c)     that subsection (1) of this section does not apply on the basis of circumstances prescribed by regulation under sub-section (2)(c)(ii).

      (4)       A relevant authority may (without further inquiry) rely on a declaration under subsection (3) in connection with granting a development authorisation under this Act unless the relevant authority knows, or has reason to believe, that the declaration is false or misleading in a material particular.

      (5)       No fee is payable under section 39 in relation to an application made by a person in order to remove or cut back a part of a significant tree in order to comply with subsection (1)(b).

      (6)       For the purposes of this section, an adverse effect on a solar collector will be disregarded if it is trifling or insignificant.
