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??

Can you give us a link to the council planning page where your TPO app (and any responses / progress / feedback) should be on public record?

Having read the back story, I may have been a bit hasty with my first response. It might not be straight forward. Still think 'delighted' was a poor choice of words😆

Not necessarily.

 

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

https://meetings.westoxon.gov.uk/Data/Uplands Area Planning Sub-Committee/20210105/Agenda/5 Confirmation of Provisional Tree Preservation Order, Tithings, Station Road, Shipton under Wychwood.pdf

This was the decision to confirm the TPO. We objected because 8’ suckers grew all over the garden due to the extensive shallow root system. Their advice to us was to cut the suckers and cover the entire garden in 15cm of topsoil. We were permitted to remove on split branch. On the basis of this we lodge an appeal in Sept 2021 and still waiting for an inspector to be allocated. We’ve been advised that although the tree has fallen the ‘root hole’ is still subject to TPO so we are asking for that to be rescinded.

Looks like we’re going to have a vertical 10’ root plate in our garden for some time…

No, we are delighted! We had sunshine in our kitchen for the first time mid afternoon today! ANd we never have to pick up all the leaves again.

Just hate that our neighbours (a care home) have been stressed out by yesterday’s incident.

Don't sound too delighted,  when discussing it with the council,  they may suspect you had a hand in persuading it 😀
