Lime Reduction
Been to look at a Lime tree about 5m from a kitchen window in the back garden. The LPA say they'll accept a 10% reduction. In my experience 10% aint much and for a tree so close the the house 30% (which is what I suggested) seemed conservative, I was thinking more like pollard it! The houses are new build so the tree was there first. The LPA have also said I can specify the reduction in meters. Would it be acceptable to reduce by 3m (radius) at the base and 2m from the top to achieve a tree that fits the space. The tree's girth is around 300mm - 400mm

Re: Lime Reduction
TPO or Conservation Area? Although it's behind the house can you see it from any public area? If so the LPA could find reason to resist topping...

Re: Lime Reduction
Buy a house with a tree, LIVE with it, cant see how your going to pass a 30% reduction, after all, the councils are well known for their high standards in contractor work and all those immaculate 5-10% reductions done down all of our cities streets barely look worked!
 Appeal. lmao

Re: Lime Reduction
The girth is 1 foot? diveded by pi that is lass than 4 inches diameter wich is too small to be covered by a tpo ( in uk ) ( unless blanket order )) ( maybe even to small to be coveered by a conservation order . the only trees ive encountered of that size and importance are historic... and or unique .

Re: Lime Reduction
I missed the bit about it only being a foot diameter!
If its bothering your client already wait till its full grown! Where exactly are trees supposed to live?
