There was this tree in our driveway, pulling up the drive and I was also worried about it falling and hitting our roof or the neighbours roof (The tree on the other side of my property had been hit by lightening and wrecked the fence and just missed the neighbours car). So I was worried this might do the same. We had 2 contractors around to get it cut down, we decided to go with the second contractor due to being able to get it done for less and was more savoury. Neither contractor said anything about the tree being special or needing special permission from the council to pull the tree down.
The contractor that we got to do the job was supposed to do it tomorrow. This morning another contractor turns up (we throught we had cancelled the others to look at it because we were going with the second contractor).... so anyway this third one turns up this morning saying that the tree is a liquidamber and that it needs council permission first and that they more than likely won't give consent, that he didn't make the laws just telling me what they are. I rang my boyfriend straight away and said that we have to sort out the paper work etc first. He said that he would ring the 2nd contractor tonight to sort it out. I took my nephews out to the movies and came back to find the tree had been pulled down.
Was supposed to be tomorrow, but was done sometime between 11am and 3pm today.
Richard phoned the council tonight and they will be calling him back tomorrow.... all very worrying.
