  1. Forget it, as in you don't think its a problem?
  2. Hi all, I've got myself in to a pretty bad headspace. I had a tree removed from the drive of my property (partial picture of the tree included, apologies that all I have) in November 2021. I have for some reason 6 months later found myself reading about heave and the damages it can cause which I wasn't aware and I need some advice. I want to put to the back of my mind as currently is cause me endless amounts of stress. Not sure at this point whether I'm being irrational or not. Essentially the tree trunk stood 22/23ft from the my property and stood around the same height, think it may be a sycamore. Wasnt a big tree and the tree surgeon/aborist who did the job said it wouldn't be a problem at the time and more recently too. I believe it was planted after or at the same time the property was built around 1990, and certainly was not before. What I think has got me into a spin is that since then I've been made aware of some mortar cracking around the back and front windows which from the homebuyers survey states were there at the time of purchasing in June 2021. Relatively minor and not uncommon from what bricklayers have advised, but from my endless (and frankly damaging) readings of google is that this is a sign of subsidence which therefore can be affected by heave if tree are removed. Further more from research my property sits on loamy soils which are made up partly of clay. Can anyone help me get out of this worry? Am I being irrational or is this is genuine concern? Thanks in advance, Dan
