Hi guys, Just done a quote for removing a dead standing oak which is in a conservation area. As it is dead do i still need to contact council planning department for permission to fell? and do i need to replace with a new tree? I know if it were alive i would need to do this but as its dead i am unsure. Thanks for your help

dont wash your ropes in any old washing powder as you may cause damage , and end up with a clean looking weak rope. Use a ph neutral wash power or a rope cleaning product.

i didnt ask how much the winning quote was, i asked for £175.00 and think that was a fair price for half a day. Yes i am fully insured all my kit is brand new so i didnt think i needed loller testing untill its six months old?
