It wasn't a direct block. They don't have any men with guns to enforce judgments. It was UK judges granting appeals upon appeals, either to try to advance the law or the state of the nation or just so that everybody could get paid for listening and talking for a few years.

3.5t car transporter beavertail that can carry a loader/towed chipper/ tracked chipper/spare car/big wood. 3.5t tipper trailer for chip and wood mainly but whatever else when convenient too. That's what I keep coming back to as the holy grail (for big jobs with small kit anyway). Fight me, Mick.

Similarly, while we’re demystifying things, European convention rights can be either absolute or qualified. Most are qualified. Like you have a right to life, unless you challenge an armed copper to a gun fight. Or you have a right to free speech, unless it incites violence. The only supposedly absolute right that springs to mind is the prohibition of slavery, which is still arguably breached by forcing prisoners to work. There’s a very good film about that in the states, 13, named after the 13th amendment to the constitution, which prohibits slavery, except if you’re a criminal. So they made drugs illegal, knowing people would keep using them so they had a ready supply of criminals to work in prisons. Victoria’s Secret lingerie was famously made with this slave labour. The UK does it too, less bigly.

I can't remember where I saw it but I recently read that someone was getting as much as 2500kg straight line pull from an Eder 1800.

No. The European Court of Human Rights can say the UK has done something that breaches a person's convention right(s). The UK can shrug its shoulders or declare incompatibility between the convention right and its national law (Human Rights Act 1998, s 4).

It's only incorporated in that courts here have to consider it. If they want to, they can go against it.

I was hoping to laminate a hard copy and staple it to someone.

Does anyone demand acknowledgement that the notice is satisfactorily detailed immediately as it is submitted? The downside being that they’d have to actually look at it.

Yes but it's nice to be nice.

Right. I'm going to make a normal 211 notice for doing them in a oner (no felling licence - domestic curtilage, probably under volume anyway - see no legal advantage to doing so either). Next question: What needs to be on the 211 notice for it to be effective? Maps, photos, sizes, species, reasons etc. I don't want to give them anything more than necessary. And how does the six week period work if I submit a satisfactory (by what standard?) notice but they want to ask questions? Does the submission date get moved to when I've appeased their cunnt whining or is it as simple as they have six weeks to TPO or not?

A play then.

Any more thoughts on the piecemeal vs oner approach?

Something I've been thinking about lately is the proper order in which things should fail to be safest/cheapest/most useful. Just something to bear in mind when you've got a chain of heavy steel bits with pingy strap bits in between.

Nice!

She looks like very pleasant company.

Nice. How did you weigh it? Or was it just the forklift creaking?

Let's see some pictures please.

Based on my posting here, do I lean to the left or right do you think?

I've haven't had any dealing with the TO before. I've always had clients do it with me feeding them tech info like species, sizes, diseases etc. I'm open to doing this guy either way, i.e. either he makes the 211 notification with info I give him or I make it on his behalf like a grown up business. I not sure I follow you. Try different words please. I'm currently recovering from a brain injury from just wrangling with the mess that is my dad's old iphone.

Mark, can you explain what you mean by the felling licence route please. I skimmed the doc you linked last night. That and odds and sods I think I already know suggest it's that you apply for a felling licence that, if granted, overrides any conservation area (and maybe TPO or specific planning permission conditions) restrictions. You do this even though the garden I'm talking about is within a domestic curtilage and would normally be exempt from needing a felling licence, even if I went over the x cube per quarter (where x is a number I've forgotten). Have I got it?

Ah. I thought you meant the crown the fallen tree was hung up in. Didn’t rewatch for similar reason to yours. Can see your thought process but it’s a bit optimistic. Anyone who’s consciously assessing his anchor point strength compared to his breakaway system strength and building in factors to allow for underestimating etc isn’t doing the job like that anyway.

How?

Ask your mum.

I'm getting approached for more principal contracting so had better start to learn this kind of thing. Looked at a job the other day. Two acre garden in a nice village for nice people (£££). Conservation area. Trees are spread around half the garden. 1. A clump of softwoods, couple of nice ones, one 2' DBH, mostly multi leyland/lawson. 2. A boundary with a couple of small oaks, one poorly, one not, a couple of hollies and some scrub. 3. Some kind of yellowy specimen lawson. 4. A mess of a willow. 5. A pair of stikas or some other kind of christmas tree. He wants it all down. There's nothing really, really nice but there is a good amount of it. About fifteen trees and a load of scrub. It'll make the place look different. I'm not doing it dodgy. I'm aware of people having got away with tree work in the village that wasn't 211 notified but that was much less work and much better hidden. This is pretty visible, there's plenty of it, there could be a parish councillor behind every blade of grass. How do I get him what he wants? Is there any merit to 211 notifying bit-by-bit? He's an incomer and he's wanting to do some house extending etc too. People will be suspicious of him.
