Want to take a huge Horse Chestnut down and I know it cannot be done when the birds are nesting, but want to get my facts right. Many thanks Mike I assume there must be a good reason for the proposed felling , disease or rot setting in perhaps? Make sure there isn't a preservation order on it, otherwise you may need to apply to the Planning dep for permission which shouldn't be a problem if it's rotten or diseased to an extent that it may be a health & safety issue. You are probably aware of this anyway, just my two pence worth in case. Don Sorry, forgot this. http://www.ecotreecare.co.uk/wildlife-conservation.htm Hope it helps. Don Many thanks Donwill. That was the link I wanted, especially the extract :- ""The nesting season is generally considered to be from early march to late August*. Even then there will still be many birds tending to chicks in nests well in to September. Note though that birds can and do nest earlier and later than this. They don't do dates! Hedge pruning and clearing of dense vegetation in a woodland should be restricted during these times as it is nigh on impossible to ensure that there are no nesting birds."" No it's not a diseased tree, belongs to the council on council land and needs to come out of it on health and safety to life, property and limb grounds. Mike Don't forget the bats, they are also a protected species. If it has a TPO on it, they will still need planning permission to fell it, a tree inspector will decide on the H & S aspect after inspecting the tree and making out his/her report so I believe.
