Hi, I wonder if you can assist with some initial advice. I wish to keep the details guarded at present just in case this forum is monitored by LA TO ?. We have a tree that we consider represents a significant danger to both us and our neighbours in that it regularly sheds branches during storms, 3 of which have hit our property so far. The tree is subject to a tpo and the LA have declined any work to it, suggesting it's a healthy tree. It may be healthy but if a branch falls and hits one of us is that a serious concern as regards our own H&S ?. I guess what I am asking is to what extent does a tree have to be considered dangerous to be able to serve a notice and have it removed, and if possible what is the procedure. Anyone had experience of this as we feel like we are living with a real problem to the extent we have to avoid using parts of our property when we have high winds. It's simply not fair as we cannot enjoy our property. Past applications for having it removed have failed in addition to a claim to the planning inspectorate. If I was a sceptical person I would suspect we are up against a very vindictive TO !
