Things like this really irritate me. Someone buys an house with a tree in the garden, someone gets an illness, blames the tree, bye bye tree. Someone buys a house next to a farm, complains about the smell, bye bye farm, .
Why don't people think before they buy. There are many more instances I could think of as well.
It's just barmy.
In this instance , it looks like it's a dormar bedroom, I would be looking at the insulation in the roof, ventilation, what type of heating system is installed etc. I would look at conditions inside the house before looking elsewhere.

Someone I know did that. Bought a house next to the pig farm and does nothing but moan about the smell and try to start petitions for them to sort it out??

Blatantly got the house because it was cheap and smelt like shite. Same happens with train lines, roads, schools, everything!

@Paddy1000111 i have defended more tree related subsidence claims from Rail neighbours than anything else, amazing what they expect to have done when their house was built worse that an outside shitter.  K

( one complained that tree was obscuring their light in garden then ( after  felling said tree)  complained again after that they could see the trains!!)

But i have to answer it  😳  best one was row of Leylandii on our side of fence causing 'visible damage' to his extension (10m away) with a row of his neighbours  mature Leylandii marching right past his house 😆  K

As a home owner that has just had a large Tulip chopped down, I can say my local tree officer was very reasonable.

 

I requested permission too fell because of the on going cost of maintenance to keep the tree within my property boundary and stop it over hanging my house. I also mentioned that the Tree struggled in the summer with leaf drop and very bad aphid infestation which made my garden unusable because of the amount of honeydew coming from the tree. 

 

I was granted permission because of the growth potential of the Tulip tree and cost of maintenance out weighed the amenity value of it. I do have to replant a Silver Birch as a replacement, But that I can live with.

Well that answers a raft of questions!

To be honest its down to Planners, we advise they choose to ignore.

Would it be given permission to build again - probably.
