Felling Trees now

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. If it's council owned and on council ground then surely it's up to them to take it down? If it is in danger of falling down as you suggest then they should be amenable to suggesting they get a move on and bring in the tree surgeons before the equinoctal gales come along and topple it on somebody. -- Phil Cook http://www.therewaslight.co.uk Yes you are on the ball there Phil and letters and correspondence have been going backwards and forwards. A massive report was done in 2007 and the recommendation there was that it came down, but it was only pollarded. Things have moved on and a felling order has been requested, but it is the timetable with the birds nesting and the law/stipulations etc which may delay felling until the Autumn which in turn brings in other factors. Rather long and involved story I won't bore you with ;-) like ""That tree is healthy no you cannot fell it"" and two years later it crashes and demolishes a Barn!!

Mike The procedure for having trees with a TPO has changed. What you need to do is get some estimates from tree surgeons. When you make your selection then the tree surgeon will handle the paper work with the council concerned. This has been done to standardise the procedure. In due course the council TPO officer will arrive and either approve or disapprove the work to be undertaken. Of course if the tree is an immediate danger then a rush needs to be put on. -- Skulking in the low lands of North Staffordshire Please reply to group,emails to designated address are never read. |
