Forget light and try to find some actual evidence of damage that points to the root incursion, until then the response will be the same.

In my neck of the woods by the Mersey we have shedfulls of young Ash self seeded but within a few growing seasons they all have dieback, I wonder if its a strategy to self populate to future proof existance, if one gets through unscathed it carries on the species?

Groundie/ trainee climber seeking work Warrington, Wigan, South Manchester
Anno replied to Tim Loud's topic in Employment
Warrington have just advertised for two Arbs on the Council Team - see ArbJobs. -
Looks more like a Gall?

The damage they inflict isn't really a problem, its just the cosmetic effect and can look unsightly to some. In terms of the extent and effects in evolutionary terms for a species to destroy the plant it relies on is a big no no! When the caterpillars turn into adult moths in the coming months, the trees will start to recover – just in time for the adult moths to lay their eggs in them and start all over gain but not usually in the same trees. Google image the title, the adult is a stunning little thing!

fairly standard for Cyprus oozing sap normal and does not indicate a problem with the tree.

Love the Forum, hate the Council!

Depends on if its Policy or Strategy - it makes a lot of difference, the latter is a long process, usually involving legal process and consultation, in my experience officers usually are overworked and underfunded but do need to give consideration on a one to one basis and try to get a positive outcome for all parties. *stands well back and waits for the Council/tree officers are just scum posts*
-
As a TO and resident 'Council arsehole' I would say apply for works, it looks like a classic case of the Planners over riding the Tree Officers comments.

this is great, are there more episodes of 'Dickheads with Insects' available?

I was teaching level 3 Arbs when somebody came into the lecture room and said the Towers had gone and two planes had crashed into them, I remember saying ' has Superman arrived yet?' stupid, inane and callous as it transpired, we went down to the changing rooms and watched it on the stashed portable telly, usually reserved for the World Cup games, and watched in open mouthed silence. When I got home my kids and partner where sat around the TV watching the story develop further, in tears. Game changing, tragic day.

Most LAS's can't afford an Ecologist so it can get farmed out to an independant advisery service, sometimes the TO has bat experience/ survey hours and can comment too, I do freelance bat/Eco work but not on 'my patch' Its a good sytem, straight forward and works well.

Bats: surveys and mitigation for development projects - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Standing advice for local planning authorities to assess impacts of development on bats. Its usually a scoping survey (are there any?) and if so 2 Dusks and a Dawn to track back, the Report then goes to the Planners.

best info is here - Oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea) - Forest Research WWW.FORESTRESEARCH.GOV.UK Information, advice and guidance on the introduced pest oak processionary moth caterpillar (Thaumetopoea processionea) in Great Britain

I think your major problem would be the Oak, the Council will want at least a plan to show accurate positions and plotted RPA's - all pretty standard stuff to be honest? As for checking if the Application Form boxes have been ticked, most planners will check anyway.
