Also the tree is within a conservation area.
Can't remember exactly whereabouts you are? Stanhope? Over the hill in allendale the TO said to pretty much crack on with kretch trees even if in conservation area. Said you can give a 5 day warning to them. Take plenty pics so you can proove obvs

The five-day notice is only for dead trees. The tree doesn't seem to need urgent works to remove an immediate risk of serious harm either. If it did that wouldn't mean fell in this instance. If this was the case notification would be as soon as the work becomes necessary. So no exception applies. Therefore a S211 is required. The tree officer could turn it around quickly if they wanted and shouldn't be advising tree surgeons to effectively break the law.

I thought it was "dying" that had been removed from the triple D, leaving "dead" AND "dangerous"?

The whole thing was removed.  It is now:

  1. Dead trees
  2. Dead branches within trees
  3. An immediate risk of serious harm

Five day notice applies to 1 and 3 above.  You don't technically have to give notice to remove dead branches but I still would as it keeps the TO sweet and its easier to prove the branches you are removing are dead while they are still attached to the tree.    

 

Cheers
