Moment council worker rams homeowner while painting double yellow lines
LOCALS say they fear an "excessively tall" tree will soon fall and crush their homes - but the council has refused to take action.Columbia Drive worry that the "menace" 100ft silver birch tree blocks sunlight, casting a gloomy shadow over their properties.But Worcester City Council have refused - claiming that the tree poses no immediate risk and has issued a protection order for it.
Resident Chris Davis said: "The trees are way too high now. They were planted 20 years ago and they looked really nice."They need to be cut back by about a third. One of these days there will be a storm and these trees will definitely crash down onto someone's home."There is a preservation order on almost all these trees even on the ones which are rotten and are at most risk of falling down.
If a tree on your property is protected by a Tree Preservation Order then there is a right to appeal to the local planning authority along certain grounds.But, if the planning authority confirms the order following the 28-day period, there are limited options for the homeowner.
