<p>Was there anything on this afterwards? Surely they would have had to plant replacement trees. If they develop that site into flats it would suit not to have the trees and the new owners would not have the responsibility replacing cut down the trees. NOTE: John McMullan was even using "peasants" back in 2009.</p>

Their "excuse" for doing it then was that they needed a day when BDC was closed and there wouldn't be much traffic.<br />
The mistake happened because the council employee in charge of the tree register was absent. It seems the company phoned twice but received no written confirmation, told it wasn't needed.<br />
One massive cock up<br />
<br />
Not sure who to complain to, will try and find out.

Thanks Liz. Is there anyone I could usefully contact about this, and anyone else from this site, just to add some more voices to the LSCP? I can't believe that there is a chance that no efforts might be made to replace them.<br />
<br />
Must say I do agree with John as well, does seem very odd to do this on Easter Sunday if all above board and legit.

There is something else going on here. They were cut down on Easter Sunday morning.

You are absolutely right, Alison. The BDC chopped the trees down because they were told there was no tree preservation order on these trees.<br />
In this evenings meeting of the LCSP, we discussed this and have decided to request that the council make reparation to provide more trees for the lost ones. The council seem to think that an admission of incompetance is sufficient to call an end to the matter. We beg to differ...

I did write to a couple of people about this but never got a response. I noticed this however in the minutes from the most recent LSCP meeting:<br />

Record-keeping procedures etc are now being thoroughly overhauled. Meanwhile, the new owners of the land are consulting with LBH tree officers with a view to planting new large-growing trees, such as ash or London plane.<br />
<br />
So does this mean that the Council said it was okay to chop the trees down??! Unbelievable. I look forward to seeing what trees they will plant to replace them. What a ridiculous way to lose some very lovely and very old trees.

There were, as Hugh says, TPOs on these trees and the council are establishing who the owners of the site are and will undertake legal action against them

Have you noticed that it's now no longer the BDC carpark but a "private" carpark. Not sure why they had to knock the trees down to do this though.
