Do you have the time (and inclination) to do it yourself? You could offer to maintain it for them and then just let the officer know when you were going to do the work - assuming it would only be pruning once a year or something?
If you really want it sorted you could offer to deal with the other dead trees as well to sweeten the deal and get the officer on side.
Yeah I’m certainly up for that, we’ve got our eye on that plot anyway as it’d make a great extension to ours as it’s got some good established fruit trees we don’t have.
Offering to do the treework in return for getting dibs on the plot would be a good trade.
Will see what I can come up with.
