Do I need planning permission to cut down 25 yr plus Leylandii?

As above  , the trees  roots are undermining our Cotswold stone wall garden boundary ,part of which needs rebuilding.

No unless in conservation area (need to notify council of your intention to carry out works) or it has  a tree preservation order on it, which I very much doubt.

Only other is  if there were any planning conditions applying to property, would show on your deeds.

Many thanks. I will just ask council to confirm as woman in our village works for Wilts county council, (we live in Glos) and she is one of those who knows everything,and notices everything ,every village  has at least one , complete pain in the backside.

it is what electric chainsaws and early mornings were made for.

Nesting birds are your biggest issue.

Show it a box of Swan Vestas and will all be over in ten minutes mind anything within 100 metres will probably be scorched?

They do burn somewhat nicely!?

If its in a conservation area you will have to write to the council but i very much doubt you will have a problem. I would be very surprised if it it had a tpo unless it was caught by default in a blanket tpo area.

If it is has a purple throated  tit warbler nesting in it and its the only place it nests in the area , then you would be unlucky
