Ho, ho. Nice typo. Are you suggesting that dear old Mynors is a whited
sepulchre? :)

Chris,

    The similar local situation I referred to happened before Mynor's
tomb 
was published and resulted in the TO and me having to backtrack on the 
advice given to my client (the owner of the TPO'd tree).  A bitter
lesson 
not easily forgotten!

Mark.

Jon,

If the TPO'd tree stands in one garden and the limb that was removed 
overhangs another garden in separate ownership and the neighbouring 
owner removed the limb, a prosecution under the TPO may not be 
successful. The common law right to cut back to the boundary is 
considered by many (including Mynors) to override the statute law of 
the TPO,

My understanding of Mynor's view is that the fact that the branch is a
nuisance is what constitutes an exemption. Your statement that the view
is held by many, including Mynors, is interesting because the only
people with any knowledge that I have encountered holding such a view
are those that have read Mynors ;)

however this has
yet to be tested by the courts.

A perfect opportunity then to find out whether Mynors or Sun Timber Co.
Ltd. v Leeds City Council is right!
