We have many streets lined with these beautiful trees in Westcliff/Leigh/Southend and they are pollarded every 3-5 years. I assume that helps to avoid sad situations like this.
Pollarding is a good way to keep trees a consistent size and can significantly reduce their propensity for causing subsidence. The trees on Oakfield Road have been regularly pollarded too.
Really enjoying these; might have to make a tree pilgrimage or two next time I'm in London.

A great article. The implications of an insurance company win in this case are too awful to contemplate.
Quite agree Craig!
