We initially communicated with the Council via Mr Stubbings who has now left the Council. In essence we have a huge cedar tree in our garden, less than 10 metres from the house and 2 metres from where our grandchildren play Although the tree is in a Conservation Area, we previously requested removal due to the potential danger, to us, our house and our grandchildren, and in return have offered to fund the planting of 2 trees in a location of the Councils choice, Mr Stubbings refused and placed a TPO on it The tree is not native and is over 2 times the height of our house and has recently dropped quite sizeable branches near to the house. Since it's over a year since we first asked, we've now been requested, via a conversation I had with local MP Mr Imran Khan (he subsequently got a response from Judy Jones) to submit a new application We haven't engaged an arborist, although we have had discussions with two and being honest they were professionally doubtful if they could 100% say the tree was a short term danger. However as I stated earlier it towers over twice the height of our house and is only 10 metres away from that and 2 from our grandkids play area. In previous discussions I only focussed on the danger factor, however there are several other concerns; . Every 6 months or so we have to have our gate repaired due to damage by the tree's growth . Likewise to the path we have needs to be lifted and reset . And also to the adjacent fence has been damaged . Our garden and that of our neighbours are devalued due to the lack of light and incessant dropping of pine needles . Our TV reception is inhibited and we have recently had to spend money to only partly resolve . The previous owner of the house cut the tree many years ago and it now sprouts 3 trunk's instead of one, so we have an ugly huge fir to contend with We're trying to be constructive and reasonable and thereby affirm our suggestion that we 100% fund the removal and planting of 2 new ones.
