    Ah I see .........  I imagine that there should be, somewhere, some paperwork about the type of TPO that relates to the woodland ... if not your Tree Officer at the local authority is where I'd go for advice regarding management of the woodland  :)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I went to my local TO for advice, and he whacked a TPO on the area :D i can't say I mind, I'm glad they're protected.

    Sounds good ... but unless the area is managed in a regenerative way, eventually the trees will die/fall/be felled because of danger ... so maybe the little saplings should stay  :D

    Great point, strategic "weeding" is in order then

    Found this on gov.uk. the diameter is 0mm at 1.5m high. So that makes it ok to replace right? I'm thinking a Rowan would be happy there

    Is a section 211 notice required for a tree of any size?

    People are not required to submit a section 211 notice to the local planning authority for:

    • the cutting down, topping or lopping or uprooting of a tree whose diameter does not exceed 75 millimetres; or
    • the cutting down or uprooting of a tree, whose diameter does not exceed 100 millimetres, for the sole purpose of improving the growth of other trees (eg thinning as part of forestry operations).

    In either case, the diameter of the tree is to be measured over the bark of the tree at 1.5 metres above ground level. These exemptions do not apply in circumstances where a tree has more than one stem at a point 1.5 metres above the natural ground level if any stem when measured over its bark at that point exceeds the relevant minimum.

    Paragraph: 131 Reference ID: 36-131-20140306

  • Apart from those replying to your post, there is one person who knows it's there...given it's size, if you don't want it or think it will be an issue in the future, yank it out. Nobody will be any the wiser...nor probably care to be quite honest.

    Another good point. I can over do the due diligence at times. The people on my street know it's there and fully support removal, and with the above minimum diameter exception, I can't see a reason not to proceed!
