Tree root questions

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I am not up on all aspects of tree law so any info would be great. I have put in a app to carry out tree work on group of tpo trees and waiting to hear back, this part is fine - but I have just been made aware that car park under the trees is been re-tarmac. They have plans to remove some of the roots that are pushing through the old Tarmac and I don't know if they will have needed to apply to do this. My issue is that the trees are big and the root on 1 side hits a wall after a very short distance, so the roots on the car park is the main anchor point.

If the roots are damaging the existing surface, pruning them in order to re-surface with new tarmac may be exempt: Exceptions relating to applications to carry out work on trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order | Planning Practice Guidance

 

This would depend on the situation. I.e. Not if the car park is under the same ownership as the trees. You can't claim actionable nuisance against yourself. That would still be application. :thumbup:
