Hi what is the opinion of stability of this extremely large TPO protected Eucalyptus tree and his the Local authority responsible if it fails after refusing consent to fell would they be liable?

If the failure was foreseeable at the time of application and was drawn to the attention of the Council, refusal would usually leave the Council liable for compensation for the damage for a period afterwwards. The period depends where you are. In England I think it's a  year. It gets more complicated if you appeal against refusal (which one generally should) as this might extend the period of liability until after the appeal is decided (which I'm told in England takes months and months) .
