Problem with next doors tree, advice required, thanks
Ledburyjosh replied to Mrdave's topic in Trees and the Law
-I'm unsure of Tree species -There is no set distance of which it should be planted -Unsure regarding criminal damage. I would think not. -you are entitled to prune the tree back to the boundary; above and below ground. As long as it doesn't kill the tree. So cut the roots at the boundary. They will obviously grow back though -
I take on all tasks on the ground and in trees of any size. Lots of experience as team leader, so happy to run jobs if needed. I come with climbing gear, rigging gear and saws up to 30". I have an Eder power winch 1800 which can also be hired with me for additional costs. References can be provided if requested. Give me a call if I can be of help. Josh

You have answered the question yourself I think and right in your observation assuming the srt is base tied and through or over multiple unions. A large part comes to learning what is safe to tie into with all of the factors which effect that; tree species/characteristics, angle of pull etc. Both systems are plenty safe enough used in the correct way. As mentioned by someone else a top tied srt puts the same force on your tie in point as a drt/mrt. A base tied srt has a theoretical x2 loading of the tie in point. Although in practise is less due to friction being added as the rope passes over the bark and through unions.

OK thanks for the info. I did get down to the motor bolts. The worm gear is all fine, and the pump spline rotated freely. I'll be sure to check the pipe routing
-
OK, thanks for the replies on this. I know the site to be on free draining sandstone coupled with the trees being large mature trees at the time of building, tree-related subsidence is highly unlikely. For the purposes of what I have been asked a description of the soil type and any other observations will suffice.
-
I resorted to grips in the end only to find out what you have said above. The pump is accessed from the other side. it looked like more of a faff than I was up for last night so will set to it another night. I shall check for bends in the pipe before getting a new pump. Thanks
-
Do either of these give enough detail to determine whether those soils are shrinkable?
-
Thank you

Hi. Does anyone know how to remove the sprocket on the 540ixp. I need to stop the aprocket spinning to undo the torx screw. I can't figure a way to clamp it well enough to loosen it. I need to refit the chainbrake spring and get to the oil pump. Thanks

Hi, I am looking for an online resource, paid for or free to use, that allows you to find out the soil types in the area. I am sure I have found this before on the British Geological Survey website. Although I cant see it anymore. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks
-
Thank you, I shall have a read through both of those
-
Yes that it. What material slings and size do you use for your rings when setting them up with the rigging line going around the outside of the ring?
-
Do you negative rig onto the ring in this orientation with a single line at all? Or just stick to that standard way?
-
Yup. And ita for that reason I'm yet to try it..
-
That's the idea yes
-
Does anyone use a ring in the following orientation? Theory being the rope can't get pinched between. The tree and ring

Hi, As part of a development survey, I am providing recommendations for replanting. There are existing and proposed new drains in the region designated for replanting. I have been reading through UU's 'Standard Conditions for Works Adjacent to Pipelines' referencing tree planting distances which is found at the end of the document. The list is far from exhaustive. Does anyone know of a more comprehensive list of trees and distances which would cover this scenario? Thanks
-
This job does not involve the LA in any way. Its something that I've never dealt with before nor heard about any cases of. I can see arguments for both the tree is in a CA so therefore the tree in its entirety is covered. I can also see that the CA boundary is a definitive line, anything outside of that area is not covered by CA, including over hanging branches.
-
Interesting. I wander if he based that on his own judgment or knew if that is the legal standpoint?
-
It is an odd scenario. But I have been asked about it. Its not unreasonable to go with the standard CA notification to be sure. I was curious though if any one knew of any cases that would suggest anything else
-
Hi, Curious if anyone know the legal standing of the below scenario? Some trees growing along a CA boundary. The tree stems are within the CA, some branches overhanging the adjacent land are not. Is notification required to prune these or not? Thanks
-
Yes I imagine that is their reason for the TPO which makes sense
-
-
Another part of this to consider, is the damage enough to now cause complete tree failure and damage the now being built properties... Possibly yes, extensive damage? unlikey more garden sheds/fences etc.. If I am correct in thinking the LA choose to TPO the tree and prevent any work/removal they could be liable for any damage as is was foreseeable and preventable. I shall upload an image to help show the scenario
-
Thanks for that info. It would explain that after a couple of hours research I didn't come to any conclusions. I am going to object to the TPO on behalf of my client as requested. My expectations are that the TPO will not be revoked as although the root damage is extensive, the tree right now is rather nice. It may be that this isn't the case in 5 years time though. As part of the objection we shall suggest a specimen tree of the same species may be planted elsewhere on the site with appropriate space. Again though it Imagine this wont effect the TPO status as who's to say they would follow through with planting it unless its enforceable. Unfortunately this contractor has a blatant disregard for trees. My personal opinion is a TPO on the Tree is the right move from the LA.
