Dear Experts,

What is the process to remove 2 big trees in front of the site before starting construction.These trees are in the street right in front of the site.

Please share your expereinces on this.

Cheers,

My contractor said - there is no process ie "You can't remove tree".
So I planned to change the location of my gate

No its not true .I was told you need to write to the local authrities and pay some fees and they will get it removed for you..But Iam not sure if its forest department or BBMP...

FYI ...

Only If the tree is very old/doesn't have enough strength to survive the Rainy breeze/threat to the life/Infrastructure development work like Road widening or Flyover or underpass...etc, BBMP Forest Division gives permission. They don't allow axing the healthy trees for cosmetic reasons.

Probably, you can chop off the part of the tree, if it is extended inside your plot.

I suggest, make some modification to your plan and retain the tree for your own greater benefits.

Dear friends ,

I have problem with 2 trees opposite my site ,though i would like to retain them but since the lots of leaves fall into the site and also cant get in a borewell lorry also,I left will create problem in the future as well.I decided to get atleast one tree removed. I would like any body who has got it done from forest department to let me know the procedures and contacts if you have any on how to proceed with this.

First find out the approximate depth you need to go for bore well drilling. If the required depth is below 600ft, you can opt for Flexible Rig for drilling, which uses a tripod stand and a compressor on a motor vehicle outside your plot. This method is used to drill Bore well inside the existing houses or in narrow spaces or inside the compound walls also.

Alternately you can look for Bore well pooling, I saw similar exercise near SMV layout where 3 houses are sharing a single bore well and two adjacent neighbors are paying a nominal maintenance charge of Rs.100/month to the bore well owner. The Bore well owner is voluntarily offering water distribution to the new houses coming in that area, to avoid multiple drilling of bore well in a way to preserve the ground water level. Every day he switches on the borewell for around 45 minutes which fills the Sump of all the 3 houses simultaneously. Those who doesn't want can control it with their individual valve.

The universal theory is that you need to bear a small byproduct for getting huge benefits from anything or everything. Don't think that dry Leaves falling from a tree is the biggest problem. Think its just a small natural byproduct. More over corporation people will clean the roads every day.

If everyone think trees creates problems to humans, then we have to eliminate the entire greenery from the human living zone. If So, how do we get the fresh oxygen to the nature or water & soil conservation or controlling the external temperature of the area. Finally we are the looser.

You can always build a case if you have the trees which is alongside your house. For something which is at the opposite, not sure how ethical it would be even to make a case. However, the people who clear the files @ the MS building, will also make similar observations. I too have similar two huge grown trees opposite my house & I do tend to get many many leaves/ twigs in my premises. But, for the cool breeze it provides, the rest is negligible.

Thanks guys for your advise ,but nobody is talking of the process that i asked for.I figured it out that from last 3 years its under the BBMP and not under forest department. There will be a forest range officer who will be responsible for many BBMP wards.We need to write a written requisition letter and attach a photo of the tree. Then its upto them to decide if they can really approve to remove tree or not.Let me see how far I can go on this .

HI magblr,

Some years ago I wrote a letter to the Chief Conservator of Forests,Malleshwaram, to plant trees on K.R.Road. After about 15-20 days, a person from forest department came to me and asked which tree is to be cut. I scolded him for not reading my letter properly and sent back. He went back disappointed.

So if you really want to cut the tree, you have to approach the Chief conservator of forests. From the internet I found that the Chief Consevator of Forest office is at BBMP Central Office,3rd Floor, Major Roads Bldg., N.R. Square, Blr 560002

You can also try this address. Office Of The Deputy Conservator Of Forests, South Division, Jayanagar 2nd Block, Bangalore - 560011, Phone 080-22975713. Try this phone number. I don't know whether it works.

You can also see a letter in consumer complaints to show their enthusiasam. The link is http://www.consumercomplaints.in/compla ... 00830.html
