| 1322531 | 2013-01-13 04:46:00 | Hi all, We are looking to chop down a tree in our back yard, in order to make way for a new deck. Its not a native, but is quite tall, so we're wondering if there's any law around cutting them down if they're over a certain size? Or is that just that you can't cut natives? Cheers Chill. |

| 1322537 | 2013-01-13 10:15:00 | I can't see why they would object to you pruning the tree by 12mm. Just tough if that 12mm happens to be only 50mm above the ground and the bit above the pruning fails to thrive. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

Yes of course. 1)Trim the branches so that it will fall the direction you want, ie you want it to fall east - trim the branches off the west. 2)Top it first if it's too tall to fall without crushing something on yours or neighbours property. 3)Don't mention the council. |
