They sent me a separate letter the same day telling me that a tree was growing over the pavement and I needed to cut it back. I pointed out that they had previously sent me a letter telling me not to cut it back. lol and what was the outcome of that one? -- Nothing. The chap I spoke to just said "Oh" and I've heard nothing since. I don't know what is so special about this tree as it was only planted when the house was built 22 years ago and it's a whitebeam, nothing special. But the deeds mention it (there are 4 other trees not mentioned) and say that I mustn't lop or whatever for 25 years and if it dies of its own accord in that time I must replace it with same species and similar size! Although I'm at the end of a cul-de-sac and the pavement under the tree is rarely used, I wanted to lift the head to leave an 8' high clearance. Thought I'd better check first and was told not to do anything. I asked for a letter to protect myself and got one. But in 3 years I can chop it down if I want. There isn't a TPO on the tree, just some bizzare planning requirement that it should be there. Well, I suppose you can, eventually do what you want with it? You could hold on the to letter telling you to trim it and wave that at any complainant ... -- -- http://www.shop.helpforheroes.org.uk/ |
