As has been pointed out. There are TPOs on a wide range of trees from seedlings to stumps. Because a TPO is a landcharge there doesn't even have to be a tree there!!! what happens if you plant a tree on a site that has the landcharge on it?... can you be fined for grinding out a TPO stump?

4x4xfar better mate, more mpg, you dont need a car park to turn round in and more room in the back - to keep my scissors and shampoo in!

Our engineer has a 2005 Landforce (not sure of model but looks like a 6" and has a side chute similar to the green mech) with a knackered engine but good condition, what would this machine be worth with a new refubed engine?

Post a thread on here with your CV?

Damn right, we lost a job for being "too cheap" we priced to thin 5 Lime trees by 15% - the guy who got the job didnt understand the spec and reduced them by 15% (hence why he was dearer) the LPA said they didnt have the resouces to follow it up and that "they would grow back!" (slightly different as consent was already given for the thinning work to be undertaken - following on from your comment on being understaffed)

Is it a dead Norway Spruce?

When quoting for the job have a comments section that all trees will be checked for protection on reciept of order, once the client has confirmed they are ok with the price you can then proceed knowing your not wasting your time. This doesnt always work as the LPA will not always give consent to the proposed works so the quote may require ammending slightly.

oi big boss beech wood. Dont hi-jack my thread with your hair dressers motor ...you know where to come when you need a trim! ...or pulling out!!

Its worth getting the email of the LPA tree officer, you can then list trees you want to check and they can get back to you at there leisure plus you then have it in writing. Depending on how well you know the area you generally get a feel for the likelyhood of Conservation areas and TPO's. If you can visit the council they should have a map of areas so you can bear this in mind. With TPO's its more difficult to judge as even newly replaced trees can be covered by TPO along with trees in groups etc.. And ditto Peter beware people claiming they have already checked for protection as it may not have a TPO but be in the conservation area.

I'd say you were unlucky, but lucky to have a customer so understanding - could have worked out costing you more than the job! -
