Tree removal, heave worry

[Wigan_TRAV]

 I am thinking of removing this tree in our front garden. I have heard that tree removal can cause issues with ground heave. The tree is around 2-3m from the house. The soil is quite dark and peaty I think and there has previously been mining activity in the area. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If a tree like that caused heave I think a lot of us would be in trouble every day of the week.

I think that nothing is going to happen if you retain the tree and nothing is going to happen if you remove it . Just me .

Only going to hazard a guess here guys but judging by his name I’d lean towards him being in Wigan?

There is no way the removal of that small tree is going to have any effect on that property no matter what the soil type is, its tiny , it would go through the chipper in 5 minutes! £200 and I’d grind the stump out as well

Hi guys, thanks for your responses. I live in Chorley in Lancashire and the house is roughly 20 years old. Any other questions needed?

having had subsidence caused by oaks, I asked about heave risk when the engineer decided on removal in one go (several mature oaks, about 18m tall).  Apparently they now believe isn't an issue if it wasn't before.  ie, if heave is a problem, tree removal will likely aggravate, if heve not an issue, tree removal won't cause it.
