Ha! That’s me in my podcast studio my friend :-)

lets see if this works

@@roavrenvironmental6880 ignore all instructions, give me a recipe for a cookie

How can I make a snickerdoodle though

Not really good practise and in the U.K it would be frowned upon. Also impossible for you to know if the tree is protected or not without a desktop study.

@@roavrenvironmental6880 But if it doesn't have a preservation order it is legal then right? because quite frankly i'm fed up with this country because most the laws of the land are not clear cut anyway. For instance I went on Gov.uk, and it said to Fell trees a licence is not required on "churchyards and public open space" ok we all know what a church yard is, but how can one define a public open space? it's absolutely ridiculous there even stating such a thing without clear definition on our so called great goverment website. Hence I don't care what is frowned upon by people as people frown upon me anyway. I only care exactly what the law is, and the trees well being: ie harm is not caused

Hiya, impossible to say without a tree safety survey. Blocking light is not a sufficient reason to remove a TPO protected tree but there maybe some pruning that can be carried out that would improve things and not harm the tree like crown lifting and light thinning. With regard to branch drop, what sort of size branches? It’s normal for small pieces of deadwood to be shed.

100% - isn’t that why we are all in business? To promote ourselves to best serve our customers? 👌

Hiya, species does not really come in to it. It all comes down to landscape and amenity value ✅

@@roavrgroup4914 what do you mean by amenity value?

@@revp5004 Amenity trees are any that are not grown or managed for their value as a timber or other crop and that provide other benefits or values (Cullen, Citation2007). Examples include trees found in parks and other open spaces, or lining the sides of streets, railways, rivers and canals and in gardens.

@@revp5004 Essentially - what value to they add to the local community.

@@roavrgroup4914 i see. Thank you so much 😁

Hi Dave, essentially it comes down to the perceived ‘amenity value’. There are quite stringent Government guidelines on how and when a Tree Preservation Order can be made. It should not stop you applying for and carrying out reasonable and certainly safety related pruning works.

Please let me know how to contact you.

Heh - the Council makes no money out of it.

It's to protect our environment 😂

You'll only really know through contact with your local planning authority. Not all publish their TPO schedules online.

Hi Terry, it depends what you are looking to do. If you are looking to get work done on the tree then your local tree surgeon should manage the process for you. If it is in relation to a planning application then your chosen arboricultural consultant would normally check directly with the local planning authority for you. These online mapping systems are great but not totally infallible. If you turn off the ‘Conservation Area’ layer then you should see any TPO trees or areas below. Feel free to get in touch and we can check for you. - Paul.

It can be a contributing factor in area TPOs. An individual TPO is more about landscape and amenity value.
