I purchased and moved into a flat in a conservation area last year. When I met the neighbours, the first thing they asked me was whether I was going to remove the tree in my garden - since it is ugly and blocks the view/sunlight. Apparently the entire neighbourhood is eagerly waiting for the tree to be removed. I love trees but am keen to replace it with a more attractive species, maybe a magnolia. Now, my question is: since all of the neighbours want to get rid of it, do I really need to go through the council and obtain permission? I know legally I would have to but since I would be replacing it...I was wondering if anyone has done this before, without council approval?
Any experience you can share is appreciated, thank you!
