# TREE PRESERVATION ORDER OBJECTION
Date: 6 June 2034
Parties: Mira Chen and West Wold District Council
## 1. Purpose and parties
Mira Chen, of 22 Hawthorn Rise, West Wold WW4 2PN, objects on 6 June 2034 to the provisional tree preservation order served by West Wold District Council on 29 May 2034. The order concerns the mature ash tree in the rear garden, shown as T1 on the council plan.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
The tree stands approximately 1.8 metres from the south wall of Mira's home and its lowest main branch overhangs the roof by about 2.4 metres. A survey by Arborist Rowan Bell dated 3 June records a cavity at the union of two limbs, deadwood and fungal fruiting bodies, and recommends prompt professional inspection.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
Mira accepts that the tree has amenity value and does not seek unrestricted removal. She objects because the provisional order was made without giving her the survey or an opportunity to explain the safety concern, and because a targeted management plan may protect the public interest with less interference.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
She asks the council to provide the order, plan, reasons and information about the statutory objection procedure and deadline. She understands that an objection must be made to the authority while the order is provisional and that the council must consider it; this letter is not presented as an assurance that consent to work is granted.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
Pending the council's decision, Mira will not fell, prune or damage T1 except where urgent work is reasonably necessary to remove an immediate danger and is carried out in accordance with the applicable rules. She asks the council to arrange a site meeting with its tree officer and her arborist.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
The proposed alternative is a risk assessment, removal of identified deadwood, selective crown reduction not exceeding 15%, and a two-year inspection cycle, subject to the council's written consent and an appropriately qualified contractor. Mira will keep photographs, reports and invoices and will notify the council of any material change.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional objection is dated 6 June 2034 and concerns England and Wales only. It preserves Mira's right to make representations and seek professional advice, but does not promise a particular outcome; correspondence should be sent to planning@westwold.example.
