The 'guest' finally rears his head.

Hello to all the British (and international) Tree workers. I have been dropping in every now and again for a read and a nosey around since I was given the URL while looking at chippers at the AA show at the back end of June. Now it is time to register and hopefully start to contribute.

At the moment I am watching, reading and learning so keep up the banter.

Recently took council to appeal over TPO decision. Small line (copse) between two streets. Arb officer walked around with me and we agreed a plan. Submitted application and due to 35 complaints, Councillors were not happy chappies and Arb officer told to change her recommendation to committee.

( this may have had something to do with a few months earlier when I instigated the felling of two very large Beech. Headlines in paper "Battle of the trees, two held by police over vigil protest", front page picture shows 3 coppers carrying a women in a wheel chair off site,with another two dragging the arrested local green party councillor off to the van.)

Back to the appeal. I decided to make five appeals,one for each house, that way the council would have 5 times the work and costs...he he.

Just had the letter back from Mr Prescotts office. The secretary of states upholds your appeal etc. All but one tree,reduce not fell, which I don't mind because, in the original application I allowed for 20% more than I thought they would allow anyway. Inspector recommends that all trees could be felled and replanted, Sh*t would it the fan and all conditions removed

A good result all round for me and my clients. Not so good for the council who will end up paying for 5 lots of internal costs. The Arb officer is now eating humble pie and suffering from sore's on the slapped wrists because all the councillors are denying that they put any pressure on her to change her report in the first place.

Another point to the contractors.

S T S- how the hell are ya buddy, Clearance here, I was born in Uddersfield in '68 lived in Canader since '72. Nice to see someone from there, makes me wonder how I would have turned out if I had been raised in the old country. Gone native here, one handing, clearcutting powerline hack I am. You ever drink beer and have fun with birds in Beamont Park? Think thats how you spell it, close to me grans house.

 

[S_T_S]

Clearance,

I looked at a house in Beaumont Park before moving to my current property about 5 miles from there (Meltham). Huddersfield will not have changed since you left (same sh1t different year and all that). Where abouts did you live for your short time here?
