Felling Trees now
Can someone please point me to the legislation about felling trees during
the bird's nesting period. 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 -- Base for a Botanic visit to the Isle of Wight? www.shanklinmanormews.co.uk |

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 |

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.

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 |

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. |

Ah, the usual excuse to get rid of an inconvenient tree. -- Roy Bailey West Berkshire. Not ""Inconvenient"" at all, just dangerous to the extent that if/when it falls, it falls across a house. The owner has stated that he is more than willing to replace it with more suitable trees. In fact he has suggested more suitable ones to be planted AT HIS EXPENSE, note that AT HIS EXPENSE, if said tree is felled. Might I respectfully suggest that before you open your very biased mouth, you do a little research or even ask a few questions into the matter? In your blind one sided 'tree huggers' view, you failed to notice that elsewhere in the thread, I reported that a "perfectly healthy tree', as reported by the Council, fell a couple of years later demolishing part of a barn, but you wouldn't wish to know that would you? Goes against your tree hugger's outlook. A tip. ""Engage brain before engaging fingers on a keyboard on a matter you know sod all about"" Kindest possible regards Mike -- Base for a Botanic visit to the Isle of Wight? www.shanklinmanormews.co.uk |
