Residents in Cowfold have rallied together to stop an oak tree from being cut down.
Residents have vowed to do “everything” in their power to stop an oak tree from being chopped down in West Sussex.Horsham District Council said there was "detailed evidence" to suggest that the tree was causing structural issues to a nearby property.
The tree predates the Oakfield Road estate it sits in, with residents suggesting it is about 150 years old. "However, the council is not in a position to accept financial liability for privately owned trees in cases such as this one."Insurance company Direct Line Group said subsidence had been causing damage to a customer’s home nearby and it had an obligation to address it.
