  1. I’ve recently bought a house in Northwest London, with several tall trees on property. One of them is a 20m+ oak. One of the things we have inherited from the seller is a long standing dispute with the neighbor, whose insurance company insists that this oak is the cause of subsidence under their garage. in our purchase agreement, the seller provided us with funds to meet the demands of the insurance company. We convinced the insurance company to let us pollard the entire tree, rather than cut it to stump which is what they had originally demanded. now that we have finished the Pollard in, they insist that actually the tree needs to be reduced by half, that we remove the entire crown and cut it to the halfway point. As there is no proof that this tree causes sub, only their insistence of the risk of possibility, we are loathe to destroy such a majestic old tree. now I have received a notice saying that if I don’t respond to them with a commitment to act within the next seven days they will take legal action against us. unfortunately the tree is not listed or protected by our council. Any advice on how I can save my tree?
