Thanks for replies - The breakages in what I'd call the buttresses - where the horizontal becomes vertical - look like stress fractures - are they a sign of failure? The wrap around/girdling root - is that a threat to the vitality/safety of the tree - is it on the sick list? Will it inevitably fail where the trunk divides?

Developers have applied to take it and 50 other healthy trees down to build houses- it's a  conservation area but developer says he won't replace trees like us peasants have to/want to.

The only way to stop their removal is to get TPOs on them.

It's council owned woodland with conservation/habitat status - before the planning application went in - at pre-application/local consultation stage-  I asked the Tree Officer to put a woodland TPO on it - he said it's a conservation area don't fret they'll have to replant - the arboricultural report now submitted says after consultation with the council they won't replant - "there's no room" . When locals ask to remove trees we often rightly get TPO'd first/instead  - the double standards when it's the councils land and trees are infuriating.

Who's the objective independent arbitrator when the council want to sell council/our land no matter what.............
