We have been advised by a local Arboriculturist that the tree is not causing issue to the neighbouring property, the image is deceptive as the tree is a good 2m inside the boundary line. So I guess it is down to a discussion between him and the tree officer then By the way, this tree is now over 10 years old and seems to be settling down in terms of its growth

Hi Chris Thanks for your info. Attached 2 photos of the trees. Threat is a vindictive and erratic neighbour who has only spite and has gone at us for over a year to have the tree removed. It has huge sentimental value as it was planted in memory of a family member, and honestly, there are hardly any other tress in the whole area. Hope this gives some more context? Thanks

Hi Guys Don't know if this is the right place for this, but am at a loss exactly where to get answers, so I hope someone might have experience and can offer some guidance? This is regarding a application for an Emergency Tree Preservation Order. In our garden, which is a nice medium sized one in a neighbourhood with an extremely small amount of trees/'real' gardens. We have a Thuja Brabant tree, about 10 years old and considered a medium age tree. There is a real threat to the tree and at the advice of an arboriculturist, we applied to the local authority for an emergency TPO. There response is that it is in a medium sized garden, not many people will see it and therefore as there is no threat,no TPO. As we know there is a threat, does anyone know about appealing this type of decision and how best to approach it? Many thanks for any feedback offered David
