I would love to know where this is, if live oak Copice stools of that age are genuinely being destroyed with permission heads should be rolling.

 

ive a funny feeling someone is trying to pull everyone’s plonker and is getting plenty of bites!

stump size.

FC have stipulated complete removal. As per opening post, we don't want them there either.

 

Is it not a bit pervy to take a photo of a bloke as he's trying to have a wizz behind a tree :001_huh:

How does a contractor both have the gear to fell & remove 1000 tonnes of oak but also has had to leave stumps 6ft high?

 

 

Were they standing on a step ladder  felling the trees?

I’m not sure about the confusion and hostility over this request - the op has stated it was a FC stipulated clearfell (I suspect Phytopthera due to the presence of Larch - oak is also a host species).
Lapsed pollard stumps with the harvestable timber removed could easily still be 6ft plus tall, particularly when growing on a slope. These stumps would still potentially be hosting phytopthera and it makes sense for the FC to insist on their removal and destruction to cleanse the site for replanting (even though the whole enterprise is a case of closing the door after the horse has bolted, but that’s not the op’s fault)…
