| I thought you only needed permission to fell a tree if it counts as a change of land use - clearing a large area, or if there is a TPO? I'm not too clear on the planning and legal issues concerning trees themselves. I know my parents for example can't cut any of their trees down without permission as the whole garden falls under a group TPO as a tiny fragment of Hatfield forest. I could do with knowing as I'm planning to remove a tree this winter from my garden. (shame as it's a beautiful copper birch, but the neighbours are worried it may be causing foundation damage – in fact I could do with knowing if that's true - think I’ll start another topic). |
