TPO's don't count if the tree is a danger, if the trees are dying then they must come down.

Thought I heard somewhere that if the diameter at chest height is more than 12inches, then you need permission. (don`t think it mentioned whether you could stand on a cherry picker at 6m high and then check dimension at your chest height)
There's a lot of that sort of thing going about, most of it nonsense. My dad still thinks any oak tree is protected under law. I have given up trying to convince him otherwise.

A JCB 806 360 on a windy night to push them over.
The wind blew them down, honest.

About the only good thing about Kirklees council (west Yorkshire) is they have an online map of which trees have TPO's on, good to work round without alerting anyone.

I rang our council about some last year and i described roughly where they were and he just said there were no tpo's anywhere near so cut down what ever we want...

if they are dying just cut them down, just remember to plant 20 saplings, in a suitable place

Hello, I have a large magnolia tree in my front yard that I would like removed. The tree is beautiful but is a challenge to maintain. Aside from being close to the front of our home (about 8 feet), the branches constantly brush against our roof. In addition, it drops tons of leaves all year around which need to be picked up by hand because the tree is surrounded by pine bark nugget mulch so it can't be raked. Lastly, the tree overshadows a large part of my flower bed which often kills plants that are planted. Per my HOA, i was advised that I would need a permit to remove the tree. I guess my question is, if I submit a request to Hillsborough county to remove the magnolia tree, would it be approved based on the grounds listed above? This is all new to me so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Another case of jfdi.whats the worse that can happen.you will get a fine.if the tree is brushing against your home it’s a definite that the roots will be around the footings and will cause issues.

Unless it has a TPO on I think general homeowners can do what they like without any repercussions!
