That’s awful, I remember a local home buyer lopping off two beautiful pine trees from about the 1.5m level in their front yard, painting them yellow, and turning them into planters. These trees were maybe .5m across, 10-15m tall.

I think they took a lot of sun light but still shocked they weren't protected as they are part of the view and very old.
They turned them into planters? Eeew, em it's recycling I guess.
I've nagged the council about one tree let's see how easy or hard it is. In Belfast the tree being in your garden is no way out of a tree protection order.

Three days of chainsaw noise to cut down some huge conifers, more tree destruction, combination of angry cos of noise and sad because 4 30 meter high trees living their best life, healthy got cut.
Ok they were very big for a back garden but conifers can be topped, but no...
I'll be putting in a lot of tree protection requests, I checked the Belfast map and very very few trees are protected.
Step one: the huge sycamore down the stream.
