Field tree

[hamdogg]

Hi all I've got a few trees to fell for a farmer, two dead oaks and a large ash tree, the ash tree is a boundary tree among the hedge line of a field there is no con area or tpo! There isn't anything else protecting trees among farmland is there? Many thanks

The only other things I can think of is National Park or SSSI . If its non of those then .....

Make sure ownership is clear if it's on a boundary it could be the neighbour also considers it his tree!

Well the field backs onto a private road which leads to multiple houses

Usually the field boundary covers the verge too, this was brought into play to my knowledge by the land registry when I took ownership of my field.

So it could be the farmers verge technically

Yes if what I am led to believe is correct. All the farmers round me look after the verge trees bordering their land. That's where they get their firewood from!!

Yeah it was the farmers land agent that told them to get the tree removed as he deemed it unsafe!

Check ownership - you would be liable if you took someone else's tree down even if matey told you to. Boundary edge trees nearly always causes issues in my opinion.
