    Thank you to everybody that stayed on topic... My query wasnt about TPOs or CAs or long winded court cases. Simply 'how do council TOs respond to complaints of council trees causing damage to drives'. I'm not concerned about court cases, I dont expect for such minor damage to lead to court. Any cases of significant damage I would deal with accordingly. I'm just sick of the public telling me I need to fell our trees because roots are pushing up their paving so thought it would be good to know how councils deal with this.

    Thanks guys, appreciate your help!

    Thanks Julian, I've seen your posts on here and uktc, TO or not, it is clear you have a lot of experience and knowledge so I very much appreciate the response... lots of reading for me now Still looking for responses from TOs though as to how they deal with these sorts of cases day to day!
  7. arbgirl92
    Thanks for the reply Paul. Your response does concern me a little though as if we were required to abate every such nuisance I dont think we would have any trees left except for in the parks! As per the example I used in the original post, would a LA really respond by removing the tree group and repairing the paving? We'd have no trees left in our built up areas! Any sort of resurfacing, be it better for the retained trees or not, would end up as a huge cost as there would definitely be a knock on effect... I guess I just despair that I only seem to come in contact with members of the public that view trees as just an annoyance...

    Hi all, So I work as a tree officer for a large housing association. We own a lot of open spaces, including parks, canals and trees near housing. A lot of the enquiries I get through come from residents with trees near their properties. Recently I have had a number of complaints relating to trees damaging hard surfaces - in particular block paved driveways, patios etc. Usually it is quite clear that it is the roots of our trees causing the issues. My question is... how do local authority tree officers respond to such enquiries/complaints? (Obviously each situation is assessed individually based on merits of the tree etc) but for example, lets say theres a line of leylandi on the boundary of our property, acting as screening between a large block of flats and some private housing on a neighbouring street. Neighbouring homeowner calls to complain that the leylandi are lifting the block paving in her garden. You go to assess, clearly it is leylandi tree roots causing the issue... Would a LA agree to repair the damage to the paving? In this particular situation I believe it would have a knock on effect where other neighbours would expect us to repair their paving too (felling the trees wouldnt be an option as they act as screening, and in my mind, the trees are more valuable than the block paving, but obviously the homeowner would disagree). Are we, as the owners of the trees, liable for minor damage such as lifting block paving? It may seem like an easy fix to just repair the paving, but this would end up being a massive cost if neighbours followed suit to put in similar complaints and requests for repair... (Sorry for babbling on!) Appreciate your responses in advance. R

    Thanks guys - appreciate the help
  22. arbgirl92
    I appreciate that this was aimed at further discussion than necessarily answering the original question, but as this is related to TPO's and the neighbours tree is not covered by TPO or CA, would the majority agree with me that legally we can cut the stem back to boundary, where it is overhanging?
  23. arbgirl92
    Thank you to all that took the time to respond to my question - very helpful.
  24. arbgirl92
    Obviously legally we can cut back all overhanging branches to the boundary and I assume the same applies to stems where they overhang? Apologies if I hid the question within my babble, I thought the question mark may have made it clear...
  25. arbgirl92
    Hi all, Have an issue with one of our tenanted properties in which a neighbours twin stemmed birch leans right into tenants garden (see pic below). Obviously legally we can cut back all overhanging branches to the boundary and I assume the same applies to stems where they overhang? I.e. if we cut back to boundary one of the stems would be left as a 1.5/2m stump effectively. Thanks in advance! B
