TPO tree fell in the storm yesterday

Having gone to appeal about the TPO (and still in backlog since Sept) we were delighted yesterday when storm Eunice felled the poplar.

But it has damaged next door’s property and covered half the churchyard. Who is responsible for clearing up?

And are the council in anyway responsible, given that they slapped the TPO on it, despite our concerns that the tree was leaning and close to neighbouring property?

Not necessarily.

 

A council was found liable for damage caused by a failed TPO'd tree, where they had refused an application to fell.

Do you have a case you can quote for us to read? Bet they didn’t pay for removal of the tree…

Our tree surgeon had just popped round (with open mouth!), said this is now a nightmare in comparison to removing the tree when still upright. This is also a really unusual situation to have a tree with a TPO in appeal which then falls down - anyone come across this before??
