Toad in the hole.

Definitely TPO and not conservation area? Customers often mix these up ime so you need to check yourself. If just conservation area then low amenity value is important and they may allow removal. On the other hand, if it's already got a TPO then it's been deemed to have amenity value as part of that assessment, so it's too late to start saying it has none. As Mick says they're unlikely to allow removal unless it's defective. There's an estate near us built on what was originally farmland where they TPO'd every decent tree before packing in the houses, so you can plot the decline of the large lime and sycamores over the last 15 years from the TPO applications. My customer has a huge sycamore in a tiny garden, which she and her neighbours all hate due to constantly having to pull up seedlings, needs re-reducing every 3 years to keep it off buildings as the rot pockets get bigger, but they won't let her remove it. Eventually it'll fall to bits but she'll probably have moved by then.

Or we have simply entered a new age of " gunboat diplomacy" . I.e. The little dog gives the big dog fleas,what should the big dog do?

Yes 80 years after the need for lebensraum was seen off we enter the need for control of resources. Russia largely has its own and so does China, having bought most of African ones.

Those cnts have always been ‘America First’. Trump just exemplifies it.

I guess we are entering a new age. This latest act will cement his authority at home. The US (under DJT) is no longer a reliable ally, and is rapidly becoming a existential threat to many other countries previously thought safe. How long before he walks into Greenland? Who is going to stop him?

Listen to her voice on " Sleeping Sun "

Thats depressing. So we are more sh1tter than Venezuela

Pretty much. I think we are safe.

So the message from the US is, if you have something that we want and you are doing something that we dont like then we can use that as an excuse to take over your country!

Poor Lucy worked for Richard and died if cancer the other year. Decent folk, find memories of then all...

Pm sent

I knew he lived into his nineties but did Lucy predecease him?

So I didn't hallucinate he said that then?

I’ve watched that ten times at least. The title makes it. Sublime.

Might is right 🤷‍♂️unfortunately The American oil companies have long memories.

He got it done in time to take his daughter and the man himself to their respective funerals.

Trump says that the US will run Venezuela and American oil companies will run the oil business. 36 hours to take a country and not a single American soldier killed. If it was a film you’d say it was too far fetched. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands Russian soldiers dead and cities reduced to rubble in a war in stalemate. An extraordinary day in history.

Editing someone else’s post doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny. Mind you it’s been done before “ and to better effect” You got one out of 3, saw Panterra support Metallica in Syracuse last year.

As Mick says. Oaks are usually longer gaps between reductions. We would normally say 5-7 in urban settings, longer depending on proximity to buildings. We have one however that we do every 3 years as by then it’s touching the neighbours gutters. Typical new build estate where the houses are crammed in as close as possible around existing trees. Usual is somewhere between 2 and 3.5m off - lots of varying factors
