Pdoc - you need a notice on that tree in case some less scrupulous "tree surgeon" turns up and by that I mean the TPO mentioned before plus a visible notice next to the tree saying it's yours and not to be touched.
LP - good that you caught that problem in time. All the best for continuing improvement.

@punkdoc the problem is the law is on their side you are perfectly within your rights to remove any overhanging branches etc back to your own boundary fence as long as you offer the said items back. By stopping them having it removed you could just cause yourself more grief they could now just go out and get Jo blogs with his chain saw to whip in one day cut it off and damage the tree. I would as mentioned yesterday get a preservation order on it ASAP if possible.

Yes and no @Hampshire Hog. They can only do this by cutting it back from their land, but they need to come 20 foot inside my boundary to get at the branch, plus they have to climb the tree. We are trying to get a temporary TPO.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Best of luck Pdoc, I'd be hoping mad! Hope you continue to heal Lilyp! We think your one in a million, not just a hundred! 😉 Had a lovely day thanks Dove, Lynn and Obelixx, been gardening all day, well needed moving of things, dividing, digging up self seeded and potting up as well as cuttings taken and lawn mowed! All supervised by baby sparrows and blue tits as well as a gang of gold finches, and of course, Harrie and Flatters the cats! lovely day, hope everyone else's Monday is going well 😊
When one of our neighbours erected scaffolding to "prune" one of our Oaks, (complete with TPO), I contacted the council, who came round the same day and had words with him. He rapidly backtracked when they talked about £2000 fine, and said the scaffolding was to trim the hedge. Yeah right.If you tell the Tree officer that the neighbour has contacted tree surgeons, they might just shift a bit faster. The danger lies if your neighbour gets one of the gangs of itinerant tree surgeons who don't give a damn basically.

That's a danger it's true ... but I've a feeling that the schadenfreude resulting from a £2000 fine on that particular NDN might help make the pruning slightly more bearable

I have filled one garden bin with prunings. A lovely sunny day to be out in the garden.
FG, I thought you were on holiday this week.
