Laurel

[Boy English]

Many thanks for all of your comments.

Your more than welcome [emoji106]

i found a post from a lady who had removed mature laurels and her council were prosecuting her.

As suggested above, different councils / tree officers may view the laurels differently, the only view that really counts in this case is that of your local tree officer / council.

can anyone shed any further light please.

Yes, you can tell us what they said once you have called them [emoji106]

bear in mind that these are 25 feet tall and 60 years old. 

Potentially irrelevant I am afraid, as above, the decision of the laurels requiring consent or not is that of your local council / tree officer..

I've recently been informed by my local council that laurels are exempt from CA trees and no application needs to be made for them regardless of their size.

South Gloucester apparently disagree, as they class them as Laurel trees and you have to apply
