Can someone please point me to the legislation about felling trees

Want to take a huge Horse Chestnut down and I know it cannot be done

Many thanks

I assume there must be a good reason for the proposed felling ,
disease or rot setting in perhaps? Make sure there isn't a
preservation order on it, otherwise you may need to apply to the
Planning dep for permission which shouldn't be a problem if it's
rotten or diseased to an extent that it may be a health & safety issue.
You are probably aware of this anyway, just my two pence worth in case.

Sorry, forgot this.

Hope it helps.

If it is rotten and dangerous then the birds will have to accept loss of
their nests this year.
