There is a Silver Birch tree 3 metres from my house on suspected shrinkabkle sub-soil. The tree is appox 12m high and is on Coucil property. I am concerned that the tree could cause damage to the house. I have written to the Council asking them to inspect it and possibly replace it with a smaller tree. They have written back advising they will reduce the crown in June next year and then inspect it every 3 years. Is this satisfactory or should I still be concerned? Any advise would be most welcome!
