My magnificent Scots Pine is under attack!

That tree is easily big enough to warrant a TPO.

Re the planting of a replacement nearby.

 

I think this is a poor idea, for starters the tree will struggle in the shadow of its larger neighbour, 

Secondly it’ll make the removal of the tree (in the event of its replacement ever achieving any sort of amenity value) problematic, one slip and you’ll damage the replacement.

 

Have you tried to get a tpo on it?

I thought this .

Has the work been done? You’re a bit ambiguous about that.

Yes, the work was done today unfortunately. 

[Mick Dempsey]

Well it’s still light. 

 

Lets have a look.

I’ve seen worse.

 

Shame, but there you go.

Well that has gained them absolutely f**k all apart from they now looking from their balcony at a tree with a unbalanced crown, I can’t see why they bothered? 

It isn’t even over the house, I would still contact the TO about TPO and raise your concerns about the neighbour pushing for more off, I suspect it will happen.

They may have gained more light in their garden, they may be looking to re roof the building underneath, who knows? Painting the neighbour as the villain is daft.

 

They haven’t gone right back to the boundary at least, the tree guy has attempted to   go back to live growth.
