That’s the trouble with you Army types  K - blind obedience to orders - whistle blows, up and over the top you go into the machine gun fire and certain death in the Herculean, but entirely futile, effort to move General Melchet’s cocktail cabinet 3 inches closer to Berlin....

 

The Senior Service tends towards more lateral thinking to get the job done ?

Honestly, I despise threads like this.

 

As a TO I would meet the property owner and advise that we, the Council, will carry out works by reducing the encroachment as much as is deemed suitable (for the tree and the resident).

 

Looking at the photo, I could advise that this is priority work and get it done asap depending on if there's any other works in that area needs doing as well.

Therein lies the rub.
 

Certainly from my experience in the UK TOs are not on the side of the homeowner, or the contractor (understandably so)

If you can circumnavigate them legally (ie. Get it done before they are aware of it) it’s worth doing.

It never ceases to amaze me the response I read about TO's and tree surgeons. Let's be honest, there are two sides to a coin. I digress.

 

As a public servant I deal with people as I would like to be dealt with, honestly. Looking at this case, I wouldn't want to live like that with a tree encroaching so much, and suspect most on here wouldn't either. 

 

I understand why Council's don't want private contractors working on their trees but in this case they need to deal with it themselves. If I was under resourced, tree crew very busy, I would check the OP's insurance and suitability to do the job, we would discuss the works and I'd let him crack on.

But you would dictate the scope of the work entirely?
