    But will it make a difference...the 60 million dollar question? Many other clubs, or rather BUSINESS OWNERS, have adopted this approach and to no avail. I'm emotive, as I love what he/they achieved, and he seems a really nice fella, and I think the players have let him down, but it highlights that football is incidental to the decision making process. "The King is dead, long live the King..!"

    Albeit with the primary purpose of illuminating the public highway, but if you wanted to benefit from the street light for your property perhaps some selective crown lifting, i.e. involving removal of lower branches (but ideally not primary ones, those emanating form the main stem / trunk), might be appropriate. The tree has been previously 'topped' and hence the dense regrowth encountered which could be thinned to allow more light to penetrate the crown. Thereafter a 'trim to shape' n jobs'a'gud'un...appen. Timing wise, ideally leave til early summer../but not critical. Cheers, Paul

    Hi Stuart, I understand this is "happening" and it is (junior ) teccie Simon that is leading on it. Will report back further when we have something definite. Cheers, Paul

    Hello Ian, I hope you're well. Whilst I don't have "a copy to hand", I'm sure a previous version of our Careers & Quals. leaflets, which included professional qualifications, listed Board Master Certified Arborist at level 4, certainly it was level 3/4. Absolutely agree about them being good quals and very well recognized. Cheers, Paul

    Hi there, if you intend to make BS5837 surveys, which is actually relatively straight forward, its the AIA / AMS where it gets more complex, part of your range of services then an 'arb' specific qualification + BS5837 training is essential (obviously the forestry qual is a great foundation.) Regards, Paul

    Hey Gary, you've clearly got some "very" helpful TOs in your neck-of-the-woods if they'll do that. I think what you're actually referring to is, in effect, a Sect. 211 notice that the TO responds to formally saying not opposed / no objections. In a former (Planning) TO role I got my knuckles rapped for issuing "de minimus" works letters as, effectively, an exemption. It worked a treat but the legislation doesn't allow for it so neither did my departmental manager Cheers, Paul

    Aaah, okay, sorry...get with the program Paul Cheers Adam

    Hi there, If Treelife can't facilitate your requirements we also do BS5837 courses (not sure how they differ TBH as never done theirs but knowing Treelife it will be good) see Arboricultural Association - Course Detail As others have said the 'PTI' is increasingly becoming the benchmark for tree hazard surveys and hence is generally well-worth having under your belt see Arboricultural Association - Course Detail Cheers, n good luck (n Treelife also offer PTI) Paul PS If neither of the above are convenient to you check out the training diary at Arboricultural Association - Training & Events and/or call Emma, or Tiff, at Head Office on 01242 522152 to perhaps "register an interest."

    Hi Adam, Sorry, I'm not sure if you're asking (me) a question here or making a statement Whilst it makes perfect sense, and cuts down on bureaucracy for both the applicant / contractor and the LPA, I'm just not sure if there's the same opportunity with a Sect. 211 Notice as there is a TPO consent which can be duly conditioned which are then enforceable if anything outside of the scope of the consent occurs. ...or maybe I'm just over-complicating it as is often my way Cheers, Paul
  11. AA Teccie (Paul)
    Also any deemed consent would only be valid for 2 years, ie it would expire before you wanted to work the tree again

    Also any, deemed consent, would only be valid for 2 years

    It's the actual tree stem measured at 1.5m above ground level that counts not the pollard regrowth stems. I can't see a "rolling permission," in effect, being granted in a CA. Think you're gonna have to go through the same process every 5 years, or whatever cycle you work on. Should hopefully be a straight forward process. Good luck, Paul

    Ya'av pinched that from somewhere else :lol:

    Sorry, "a bit late in the day" acknowledged but hopefully "better late than never" Arboricultural Association - AA Logo released to Qualified Members This recognizes an individual person's (qualified) membership status of the Association and is not an accreditation, i.e. it is not ARB Approved Contractor. cheers all, Paul

    I'd suggest common Lime (Tilia xeuropea) with the typical 'epicormic bush' at the base and, unfortunately, but not uncommon, decline / dieback in the upper crown. PS questionable protective fencing in situ. PPS Gud'on'ya for taking the initiative n going to site early

    Hi, "fair comment," however not sure it's British Law per se but interpretation of guidance and opinion on what is a tree? When you say 75mm at GL (ground level) is that the case as usually it's measured at 1.5m AGL (ABOVE ground level)? Cheers Paul
