Hi I'm after some advice, is this oak tree dieing ? If so will it be dangerous any time soon? This was recently done in the last week. 

 

Thank you

Nope.

 

It was pretty brief.

There seems to be a million more times the info /  assumption  / opinion in the various answers than can possibly be derived from what I can see as the OP?

 

(but from what can be read, This looks like a wind-up or the behaviour / actions of a Neanderthal)

It's the combined info from all the ops posts. If you set it to sort by date then you can see all his replies in order explaining what he did

I think that came from the Original Posters next 17 comments.

That clears that up then. 
 

He’s obviously a knuckle dragger.

Well, at least he had a go, bless.

 

From some of the comments, I would assume that the closest some of the contributors have got to tree work is watching Countryfile.

That's a bit harsh. From what I can gather from the posts council used to own the tree and the land it was on. Council have not looked after trees on the land and not compensated anyone when they dropped limbs causing £1,000s of damage. Council offered to remove tree if the home owner paid.

 

Home owner ended up buying the land from the council, council did not TPO tree. When the home owner started getting quotes to fell the council got wind and decided to TPO. I assumed one of the arborists enquired with the council about a TPO and that's why they acted? Again I assume some how the home owner got wind of the council getting wind and decided to ring bark said tree. (I've seen that suggested by people here before).

 

Sadly I doubt we'll find out exactly what happened and the outcome.

There’s a lot of assumptions there mate. 
 

I can hardly make any sense of the thread the way it’s all jumbled up in order of what has been said. 
 

Im no fan of misplaced LA inappropriate application of TPOs (or lazy ‘public amenity’ catch-all refusals of work schedules) but that’s not to say I’ve seen anything here that makes any sense so far - apart from those comments that say careful how you (OP) carry on.

I certainly agree with the advice and I'm often pleasantly surprised how helpful some members are here. I would also add to that a warning to the OP that it's not unheard of for cash strapped councils to fight lost causes.

 

However, unlike others who've ignored what the OP said or assumed they'll lying and condemned them I've assumed they've been fairly truthful and can easily understand why they did what they did.

I still can’t make head nor tale of the order of the posts (can’t really be bothered to re-read it all in some sort of order) and, I found I was just skim reading the OPs lengthy and rather garbled posts....

 

On reflection - IF - we take all the hassles described by the OP at face value - AND - the LA has (for whatever reason) been intransigent and (as appears to be interpreted by the OP) unreasonable, then the net result will almost inevitably be loss or damage to that which has been deemed worthy of retention. 
 

That’s human nature. It’s a lose lose end game. 
 

Id like to retract my previous criticism of the OP and submit a “no comment” replacement 😂 

 

If they feel they’ve been backed into a corner then they must do what they feel justified and live with the potential consequences.
