How to have a TPO removed?

[Mick Dempsey]

In fairness, you don’t decide when to end a thread, just like you don’t decide when and how to cut your tree.

Theres a sort of symmetry in that I suppose.

what on earth is your point and how does in answer my original question?

It does not matter how quick an application can be made, it takes some 5 weeks before one gets a decision and the decision may be a refusal.

But if you don't make the quick application you can add all the time you don't do it to the 5 weeks .

[Mark Bolam]

The point is why does 5 weeks matter?

A branch wouldn’t grow much in 5 weeks.

 

Tell your neighbour it’s subject to a legal process that takes 5 weeks.

 

Why do you think you’re such a special case?

[Mark Bolam]

Of course the decision may be a refusal.

That’s why it’s called a ‘decision’.

 

I’m no big fan of The Man, but you can’t just go round changing laws that don’t suit you.

 

That way lies anarchy, Sir, anarchy!

Then I will leave you to carry on with it, I will look at any replies and reply as required and then call it a day.

I do not know what else there is to be gained by continuing the thread as bearing in mind m original question the link I provided seems to give the answer.

If you'd submitted an application on the day you started this thread, your 5week wait would be done in two days time.

If I am aware of a problem, I want to deal with it now, not in 5 weeks. I do not want to risk upsetting my neighbours.  I do not know why you have introduced "special case" as I do not recall me saying I was although many times I have been told " you are the only one". 

 

 

I came here asking about a process for removing a TPO, there have been a number of replies about putting in an application and the 5 weeks wait and telling my neighbours about the process but these do not answer the question.

I get the feeling there is a reluctance to see a TPO removed and a mistrust of anyone wanting to remove one.  Even though I think the thread has run its course and the answer now found I'm being told it is not up to me when to end a thread. I am on another forum and I see once the answer is there people keep adding to it and I find myself asking why, what is the point?

 

Sorry if I have upset anyone.

 

Hopefully the link I put in to a post earlier this evening will be of use to others.

The answer is you don’t get a tpo removed, it doesn’t happen, yes it can, but almost all tree officers won’t play that game so you need to play there game and put in the application and await a decision.

Normally once a tree officer gets to know you, and (the standard of) your work and your not wanting to destroy the trees they tend to become a bit more easy going and happy to work with you. In the first instance you need to play the game and build a relationship, every tree owner and worker has to go through this.
