there is a large Alder tree in my neighbour's garden that has been dead for about 2 years, has a slight lean towards my shed, hence the concern. I'd say the tree is about 50ft tall about 2-3ft wide at the base, it has no leaves and sheds a branch every so often, it is situated in a wet spot. Is this the kind of tree that takes years to rot and fall or is it something that will not last long? Also is there anyway to get the neighbour to sort it out, currently showing no interest and no very approachable, thanks in advance for any replies, jim

hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice about a tree works situation on a TPO'd tree. The situation is as follows: Large willow (approx 10m high) in the corner of a back garden with TPO Tree is approx 1m from boundary with neighbour and overhangs about 2m Tree is approx 1m from a band of unregistered land at the rear of property. Unregistered land is a long established path used by approx 30 neighbouring properties that back on to it. Willow leans over the unregistered land at approx 45 degree angle. Soil is marshy, this probably caused it to lean over Owner of TPO tree applied to pollard willow to 2m high, application was approved by council as good arbortorial practice Owner pollarded tree only on one side removing the branches from over their property only. Left all branches overhanging neighbour and unregistered land. Neighbours have reported work as planning breech to council, not completed per description and questioned its safety Council response as follows: regarding safety they state the tree is on private land would fall on unregistered land, so it is not there issue. regarding the partial pollard of the tree they state some of the work is completed per the description so this is OK, no action needed. Is the council response correct? Can you apply for works on a tpo tree the only complete some of the work? Regarding safety wouldn't the Miscellaneous previsions act apply and they would be obliged to take action? Is there anything they can do to prompt the council into taking some kind of action? So far I've advised them not to spend any money on a tree condition report as the council are not being proactive. thanks
