Hi Guys
Don't know if this is the right place for this, but am at a loss exactly where to get answers, so I hope someone might have experience and can offer some guidance?
This is regarding a application for an Emergency Tree Preservation Order.
In our garden, which is a nice medium sized one in a neighbourhood with an extremely small amount of trees/'real' gardens.
We have a Thuja Brabant tree, about 10 years old and considered a medium age tree.
There is a real threat to the tree and at the advice of an arbicultualist, we supplied to the local authority for a TPO.
There response is that it is in a medium sized garden, not many people will see it and therefore as there is no threat,no TPO.
As we know there is a threat, does anyone know about appealing this type of decision and how best to approach it?
Many thanks for any feedback offered
David

It’s rare to request for a tree to be protected. Can only assume this to stop or delay any development works being carried out by your neighbours?
You have every right to Appeal a formal determination by the LPA. Like with all Planning decisions/appeals, it’s going to be 50/50. I personally think you’d be fighting a losing battle.
