The appellant appealed a decision of the Woodstock Property Standards Committee which rescinded an order requiring the respondent neighbours to remove six trees from their property.
The appellant argued the trees were hazardous and caused damage to her property.
The court heard competing expert evidence from two arborists regarding the condition and risk posed by the trees.
The court found that three of the trees posed a hazard due to poor structure and proximity to the appellant's home, and ordered their removal.
The court varied the order to allow the remaining three trees to stay, as the respondents had completed extensive remedial maintenance that satisfactorily addressed the hazards.
