Dont be so sure. I think its called 'Topping and lopping' and

nurtured. I think it has more rights than a refugee).

The relevant legislation was passed some years after the storm. The
species of tree or the narrowness of the leaves are irrelevant. If the
tree is in a conservation area and above a certain size, you have to
give the Council 6 weeks *notice* of your intention. They then either
slap a TPO on the tree or not.
