Contact your County council planning department / tree officer and express your concern. It may be possible to initiate a TPO if the tree warrants it.

 

 

This would be the only route that would be worth a shot ... Tree officers can over ride a decision made by parish councils the problem is if it's gone through planning already as its in a conservation area and it's been approved you don't have a chance!

Looks superb from that view . What does it look like from the blokes perspective ?

 

It is suberb Stubby. I should say thats an old pic I found on the net, its a bigger and better tree now. Tou can see why folks don't want it removed. From the blokes perspective its hard to know how it feels - its not that close

to him and theres a high wall between him and it. I should also say that theres a drainage ditch alongside the wall, so its hard to believe the roots are causing any issue. I feel that hes put his neighbours in a tricky position because we don't know what his problem is. I've always got on well with him but this seems to have come out of the blue. He also spends half the year abroad, so I can't really fathom is concern.

:thumbup1:I think it's a lovely tree, and the village is very 'Midsomer Murders' in setting (although I loathe the programme is has some nice English village locations).

 

I think the tree should be saved. Print some T-shirts, start a petition, dance around it swinging corkers and then get the local rag to come on side.

 

I want this tree to live. :thumbup1:

 

P.S. I admire your politeness and restraint in the face of some rather caustic retorts to your plea. I'd have bitten big time :blushing:

 

All power to the wonderful tree! :thumbup:

The speed with which this has happened, and my previous experience of the parish council, would suggest to me that its a snap decision. They do tend to take a 'riding shotugun' type approach to issues that arise and they seem to do so without an awreness of their legal remit.
