Not directly aimed at you Annie I dont expect treeowners/homeowners to be as aware of the situation as tree professionals but I cant help thinking that the first thing to do is check to see if the tree is protected by any statutory restrictions - ie/ Are you in a conservation area or is the tree subject to a TPO ? If so- permission is likely to need be sought from your local planning dept in the event any kind of work needs carried out

There are all sorts of connotations relating to overhanging another's property and such that might allow you to effect works without permission from your neighbour or the council but check first as the aforementioned protections negate these!

My advice is try to strike up a constructive dialogue with the owner (neighbour) and suss out the situation Get his permission for further , investigative, assessments and perhaps agree a plan of action that will share costs and leave you happy that its safe and the neighbour clear they have fulfilled their "Duty of care "

 

good post tim:thumbup1:

Hi Yes the tree does have a TPO on it and am aware of the implications of that, but for my own peace of mind I would like to get someone in just to give me an idea on the safety of the tree, the fungi growing has worried me the tree has got a lean (luckily not towards our house) and now I am worried the canopy isn't as bushy as it has been in previous years, but that could be me just getting a bit paranoid! I would like to thank you all for your advice.

Agreeing with previous posts--yes it is best to contact neighbor and share results if not cost of risk assessment.

 

HUGE growth of woundwood around the hole. This tissue can be twice as strong as regular wood. This does not look like a high risk based on pics so far. I am in north america, but we have many beeches.

 

The most productive concern at present may be the state of the tree's roots. Pictures of the mulched expanse below the branches could help track down cause of thin crown.
