Hi folks, My first time here after being a veteran of the old ebuild forum back in the day. ? Scenario: You are planning to build within the RPA of tree(s) protected by a TPO, and you supply the council with a method statement signed-off by the required experts (arboriculturalist or whoever else may be required) as providing adequate protection for the tree (e.g. piling etc.). Assuming the council doesn't dispute the expert's statement, can the council still refuse to grant planning on the basis of the construction being within the RPA of the TPO? -
Has anybody any idea how much it costs gets to get permission from the local authority to prune a tree which has a TPO on it. I would do it undercover of darkness but the tree is in the neighbour's garden and he is watching me like a hawk!!

In late 2015 on Buildhub I had a thread about removing a Huuuuge TPO Poplar Tree. http://www.ebuild.co.uk/topic/16624-removal-of-tpo-tree-after-branch-fall/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eygMw9JE9tY This is an update. The Council forgot about the replacement, but the neighbour did not :-).The Council recommended "oak or beech". And we talked about replacement trees including Turner's Oak. So I will be putting a standard tree in this spring, looking at something narrower than the 15m branch radius of the Poplar but with leaf colour interest and a mature height of perhaps 12-15m, by which time I will be in my coffin ("Here lies Ferd, who was alive and is now derd. There is no more to be serd."). It is prominent on a corner at the entry to a 100+ house housing estate. Options are: Quercus Robur Fastigiata (upright common oak) Quercus Robur Fastigiata Koster (narrower and a little faster) Quercus Palustris Green Pillar (upright red oak which goes red in autumn on the correct soil) Pyrus something something Chanticleer (medium size ornamental pear which goes bright red in the autumn) All are hardy as it is an exposed site. I think I am looking at option 3 or 4. Cost will be about £200 delivered for an approx 8cm girth 3m tall tree. If anyone has any comments they would be welcome. Ferdinand (How to embed a video?)
