The sadness is extended due to the destruction of a major part of the micro-environment and a popular local squirrel which is going to be made homeless.\u00c2\u00a0The tree is close to a junction of two paths, one of which leads to a pre-school where many of the children love to watch the squirrel.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One commentator said: &#8220;No analyses has been provided to confirm whether the path could have been rerouted or whether the use of hard hats should be provided \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the tree was there first!&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This also begs the question as to whether thousands of other mature British trees are at risk if such a precedent is set?\u00c2\u00a0To what extent does a property owner have a duty of care to passers-by for natural occurrences, such as pine cones falling on their heads?<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertysurveying.co.uk\/newsletter\/?page_id=22680\">Back to
