Also waney edge boards over 4" thick wanted for live edge slab tables. seasoned preferred but will consider green. Also if you know the whereabouts of any large wood i would greatly appreciate the tip off !!

  4. don't you dare log such a nice tree.

     

     

     

    a few dimensions might help find a miller?

     

     

    I know I want to find a home for it to be used rather then on the fire. But am happy to ring it up for logs if no one wants it :P

     

    Access for hiabs,grabs, trailers etc can be cut to size as well :)

     

    I will measure the tree tomorrow :)

  5. Hi,

     

    We are taking this Oak stem down soon and are keen to see if someone has a use to mill into beams etc.

     

    Our plan is to turn it to firewood but would rather see it be put to better use.

     

    If so please pm, tree is located near Bracknell, Berkshire.

  6. I've been involved ( from the owners side) in this. The first PC involved was all for criminal prosecution but that wasn't eventually pursued. Probably not in the public interest.

     

     

     

    I gathered information for a civil case, measuring the dbh of the trees felled and getting quotes from Barchams for like for like replacements, plus stump grinding, planting and establishment costs.

     

     

     

    These were a number of young self-seeded trees in a field blocking a new neighbours view, that he decided to fell one Saturday morning. The cost for the trees alone was near £40,000

     

     

     

    I don't know if it's been to court yet, but the barrister, apparently, thought it was a slam dunk case particularly because the liability had been established by the police.

     

     

     

    LAs successfully use CAVAT for calculating tree values in their prosecutions.

     

     

    So it becomes more of a civil matter rather than any lawful matter unless witnessed?

     

    I guess it all comes down to the trees location and the purpose of the tree for the cost?

     

    £40,000 for the trees and rectifying the damage is almost the same as a TPO.

     

    Thanks for your view on this, i have heard many stories of people felling neighbour trees and have always wondered what the law has to say.

  7. Just out of curiosity, something I have not come across and cant seem to find any answer to online.

     

    What would happen if you felled a tree without landowners/tree owners permission?

    (No tpo and no restrictions)

     

    Would that hold similar offences to a tpo'd tree or would it be simply a case of re-planting?

     

    I would guess from basic laws it would be criminal damage and theft.

    (Criminal damage felling the tree and theft taking waste away)
