    I'm not in the industry Mick, just a woodland owner. I think you've got a good idea there though. I'll suggest it

    It is suberb Stubby. I should say thats an old pic I found on the net, its a bigger and better tree now. Tou can see why folks don't want it removed. From the blokes perspective its hard to know how it feels - its not that close to him and theres a high wall between him and it. I should also say that theres a drainage ditch alongside the wall, so its hard to believe the roots are causing any issue. I feel that hes put his neighbours in a tricky position because we don't know what his problem is. I've always got on well with him but this seems to have come out of the blue. He also spends half the year abroad, so I can't really fathom is concern.

    Thank you Stubby, thats good advice. At the moment I don't know the full facts. You know how stories can change as they do the rounds in local communities so I'm mindful of not jumping to any conclusions.

    Here we go Mick. There are two properties behind the wall that you can see far right in the picture. Apparently its one of the proeetyowners thats asked for the tree to be felled.

    The bloke who's asked for it to be felled lives next to the common land Stubby. Ther are a number of other houses close by and the pub. I live on the opposite side of the road and have trees next to me on common land. They casue me no problem, I enjoy them. The wall of the nieghbours house and garden runs alongside the common land. The tree is about fifteen feet away from his wall. At the moment I don't know why hes asked for it to be removed. There may well be a good reason that I'm not aware of however theres no obvious cause for concern.

    Really Its a tree on common land outside the village pub. Its a community issue, not a private matter

    Thanks again Kevin, So, in theory the owner of the tree should notify the LA. In this case that would be interesting as I'm not sure who,the legal owner would be when its common land, or a village green? Am I right in assuming that the parish council doesn't have the legal right to simply 'approve' the felling?

    Thanks Kevin, Am I right to think that trees inconservation areas enjpy legal protection without individual TPO's ?

    Its a lovely tree that the majority of our community are very fond of. Our kids collect conkers from underneath it. Its on the green in front of the village pub. Lots of folks enjoy sitting in its shade enjoying a pint. Its been there for many years and isn't causing any problem that I'm are of. No reason at all to fell IMHO. I also thought that trees in conservation areas enjoy the same protetcion as those with TPO's ? It seems to me the parish council don't have the legal authority to approve the request to fell?
  11. Two Acres
    Thats an interesting point and had I known this was on the aganda I certainly would have done. It seems to have been presented to the village as a done deal, with no prior warning. There will definitely be a full room at the next parish council meeting in early sept, thats for sure

    Hi all, My local parish council have agreed to a request from a local resident to fell a horse chestnut tree that is growing close to his property. Its on land that is either common land or is owned by the parish, I'm unsure which. I only found out today from a friend that apparently the parish council have condusted a 'consultation' agreed to fell the tree and are planning to replace it with another tree. Its a lovely tree, around 25 feet tall. Many other villagers are now angered by this and we are wondering the best way to go about protecting it. Its in good health and is about fifteen feet from the residents house. It does beed pruning as it has telephone lines running theou its canopy. I believe the tree is in a conservation area. Any advice? Many thanks?

    I've been into a number of slaughterhouses where the animals that have missed the stunner get their throats slit anyway. If you're concerned about animal welfare then you need to consider a vegetarian lifestyle.

    I can't take chip but I can take all the logs you've got. I'm 12 miles from Norwich just off the A47

    Prawn pathia is my favourite Jon. Its hot, sweet and sour. Its not too hot for my taste, but its too hot for my wife. She likes a korma.

    I agree with you arboriculturist. My first instinct would be to say 'yes of course, go ahead, help yourself, no problem'. In todays world, however, I'm not sure if thats wise Interestingly they want to gather under the old oak thats in my avatar picture, seems a nice idea.
  18. Two Acres
    They haven't mentioned money...
  19. Two Acres
    No I don't Felix, thats whats making me think twice.
  20. Two Acres
    Ah, I see. Thanks Lucan. What about the insurance side of things? I assume if I don't charge them then no problem?
  21. Two Acres
    Ok, I'm not sure this is going to be a conventional affair. They seem pretty much 'hippy' types to me.

    Hi all, I've had a request from a young couple to get married in my family wood. They'd like to bring abour twenty guests. My question is how do I stand on that legally? I'm minded to say yes but don't want any comeback. What do you all think?

    I did it myself six or seven years agon on holiday in Corsica. Filled up the hire with the wrong fpuel, can't remember which way around it was. Despite speaking virtually no French I managed to tell the mechanic at the garage what I'd done and he very kindly syphoned it out for me, fag in hand!

    I'm just having a look at the SOAC website. I like this: 'Scotland’s outdoors is managed by a variety of people and organisations and many of them earn their living from the land. It is all of our responsibilities to respect each other’s activities and interests in the outdoors.'

    Thats interesting Ben. What do you think about SOAC? Are most folks in favor or against?
