how does this look? tree pruning.pdf

Perfect. Thank you for the advice. I'll get a couple of quotes and write to them as you suggest.

This is a little different to the typical 'my neighbours trees are hanging over'. Key points; I bought the property in 2021, and the trees were present then. The land is owned by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, and is whats they call a "Conservation Park" The trees are around 40 feet high, and overhang the garden by about 15 feet (about half of the garden). I have nothing in the deeds or other documentation that mentions anything about the trees or their upkeep. I emailed the trust last year asking if they could trim the trees so they no longer over hang the garden (I dont really mind the height). Their reply was that they review the review the trees once a year and if they deem them to need cutting, they will. Alternately I can pay for someone to cut the trees back. My main concern is damage to people or property. There have been a few large branches fall in the wind, fortunately no damage was done. Do I have any legal right to demand the trees are cut back? 20230625-201915 hosted at ImgBB IBB.CO Image 20230625-201915 hosted in ImgBB Doc1.pdf

Thanks. No wonder the highstreet is on the decline! I've just had a quick look at the specs Noise Level :＜65db It's way higher than this. My phone says its more like 100db even on the lower setting.

Hi, I recently bought a large fan from homebase. On testing I found it far too powerful and noisy for what I had intended. I have obviously taken it out of the box and plugged it in. I returned to homebase and spoke to customer services. They called the manager and he told me he would test it, but if it wasn't making an actual 'fault' noise they wouldn't accept the return. It's been years since I've returned anything to a retail store and guess I've been spoilt with the ease of return at places like Amazon. I've checked the returns policy and it does state "All returned items must be unused, in their original packaging, with a receipt or order confirmation. Products which have been installed cannot be cancelled or returned unless faulty". Is there any way way I can return this?

Sorry for the late reply, I've mainly been receiving advice from the other site (National Consumer Service) which certainly isn't a 'scam' site as FTMDave claims. Its just another forum, like this one with well informed members that have lots of experience with motoring issues. While I still think this is a good site (consumeractiongroup), it has a very broad range of topics, where National Consumer Service specifically targets motoring issues. Anyway, Since following the advice from National Consumer Service I havent heard a peep from either smart parking or the debt collector. I'm not suggesting they have dropped the matter, but maybe have realised its not worth their effort and just put it on a pile for a rainy day. In any case, they aren't bothering me at the moment.

you misunderstand. I haven't ignored the LOC I replied and told them they failed to comply with the requirements of Schedule 4 of The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012 namely, but not limited to, failing to deliver the notice within the relevant period of 14 days as prescribed by section 9 (4) of the Act, and cannot, therefore, transfer liability for the alleged charge from the driver at the time to you, the keeper. I'm referring to the earlier posts relating to the PCN and before the LOC was received. The other forum (which I haven't named as I dont know if its allowed here) has tons of posts relating to PCNs being late, appealing them and the parking company withdrawing them. It also has lots of posts about smart parking going to court. That's I why I said the initial advice given here was wrong. I was told to not respond to the PCN and wait for a LOC. (I would insert DX100 posts #19 and #25 here which specifically say dont reply, and dont tell them they missed the 14 days) What I should have done is appeal to the PCN and have the parking company withdraw it - which is very common. Instead its now with a DCA threatening court action, who I'm trying to appeal the same thing to.

The advice here was to wait and do nothing. I was only told to reply once the letter of claim had arrived. In fact, I should have replied immediately and it would have been resolved before the letter of claim. Not replying to the PCN has just made the process more complicated and less likely to be resolved in my favour. here advice here was to wait and do nothing. I was only told to reply once the letter of claim had arrived. In fact, I should have replied immediately, quoting the The Protection Of Freedoms Act, that they had missed 14 days and the female owner was not in the CCTV image, and instead was a male. I actually asked if I should do this and was told no. (quoted below) If I had written to them, that this all would have been been resolved before the letter of claim. Not replying to the PCN has just made the process more complicated and less likely to be resolved in my favour. The other forum has told me the advice given here was terrible, and I should have immediately notified Smart Parking they failed to comply requirements of Schedule 4 of The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012 namely, but not limited to, failing to deliver the notice within the relevant period of 14 days as prescribed by section 9 (4) of the Act. And cannot, therefore, transfer liability for the alleged charge from the driver at the time to me, the keeper.

I wasn't sure the advice given to me here was correct, so I posted about this on another forum that deals only with motoring issues. Heres the advice I got

Thanks Honeybee13. I've just received a Letter before claim and PAP form from CST Law regarding this claim. pap.pdf

thanks DX. It probably helps that the keeper of the car is female, and in the photos you can see the driver was male. Do I really need to wait for the letter of claim and reply pack to send the snotty letter? Is there any harm in sending the letter now?

OK, understood. It just so happens that in this instance the person listed on the V5C that received the PCN wasn't the driver. So just sit tight? What about the DCA? Wont they just pursue and eventually file a default?

ok thank you. So where do I go from here. Do I write to Smart Parking, telling them they have missed the 14 days and that it is non compliant?

thank you both. Isn't it 28 days for a PCN? date of incident to date of receipt would be; 14/11/2021 to 29/11/2021 15 days

sorry about that. Here we go. There were 11 files in the SAR. All included in this PDF (personal info redacted). SAR return.pdf
