Happy you got legal expenses cover on any of your insurances? This can sometimes assist with neighbour disputes. Call them, explain the problem and see what they say. They may be able to send a strongly worded letter which may convince your neighbour to sort their life out.

Slamming balls in a door is a Friday afternoon job, and entirely at our own risk. -
Monkey puzzle tree escapes axe - Wales Online WWW.WALESONLINE.CO.UK THE saga of Swansea’s “dangerous” monkey puzzle tree...
-
Nothing's as old as Brexit. I only posted the story because I was looking at the TPO app that the original poster was talking about. He cited Andy Sherlock (Barrells) so I went Googling to find out their context. The Mail article was the first one to pop up. Also on BBC and local rags. Can't find the outcome though!

That's what I said.

150-year-old Monkey puzzle tree facing chop because health and safety say its needles are 'like syringes' | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK A 150-year-old monkey puzzle tree is facing the chop after health... Even the Daily Mail had a pop!

The tree is also a serious Health and Safety risk, the dangers posed by the fallen needles of Chilean Pine/Monkey Puzzle trees - a matter highlighted by Swansea Council, who subsequently employed an expert, Andy Sherlock, who has over 22 years experience (Arboricultural Consultant), who "likened the effect of the needles to being pricked by a hypodermic syringe" and thus who supported felling. ‘Every effort must be made to prevent children coming into contact with these potentially, equally sharp needles, and warned they pose a probable risk of serious injury to children.” Sweep them up.

Horse chestnut leaf miner, unusual year here.
Adam M replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Tree health care
I think it's a bit slower to hit this year than previous (Hampshire). Definitely there though. -
That's not a positive note. Olives are akin to engorged ticks and should be incinerated for biosecurity reasons. I have no doubt that Xylella fastidosa was knocked up by someone who knew what they were doing, for the greater public benefit ?
-
But the house could get catapulted into space by heave. Need to snip off 10% of the leaves once every couple of weeks, at night, so the tree doesn't realise and the ground stays flat.

This is verging on hawrassement now.

This register,... Could that simply be the planning admin system of choice? If not, what would it look like? What should the headings be?
-
Reckon that's ash but with some of the bark off and other bits discoloured by lichens and mosses etc.

Daedaleopsis confragosa / blushing bracket

Collect them up when they're engorged and pretend that they're olives, but tastier.

I've got a couple of three which I can see from my office which are looking dreadful. I'd put it down to root disturbance catching up with them. No other symptoms apart from dieback. I'm sure I've heard a few other people talking about dying Wellies too.
-
Phew!
-
Councils do just that. Poole BC are quite well into POC.
-
I meant in the wider context, where an extension would otherwise have been PD but to build it they have to carry out a prohibited activity e.g. root severence for foundations or pruning to fit it in. The PD rights don't trump the TPO therefore surely an app of some sort should be required?
-
Just out of interest, how do others approach otherwise PD apps where trees may be affected? Rightly or wrongly, I take them as tpo apps with relevant 5837 bits, but should they be dealt with as standard planning apps?
-
What became of this tree? Did you get to the bottom of what was causing the swelling?
-
Replacement planting is a duty and shouldn't be used as punishment. The goal is to ensure successful establishment and this is much likelier in smaller trees.

I've served a tpo on my way way home on Christmas Eve before. It definitely gets me in the festive mood. I wanted to do a 12 days of Christmas once.... On the 5th day of Christmas the council served on me a T RRRRRR N Etc.
-
Probably would have facepalmed ?♂️ Luckily the layman doesn't understand the finer details of tpo's and the first they found there was a problem was when they were served with a new tpo.
-
If its not yet confirmed, PINS won't validate the appeal but may hold the appeal in abayance until confirmed. I've been in the situation where I've not been able to find evidence of confirmation on a pre-me tpo and had to knock up a new tpo, grovel to PINS and let them know once confirmed. Appeal opened and subsequently dismissed. Everyone's a winner. Apart from the appellant.
