Man fells neighbour's TPO tree for a better view

[Quickthorn]

This just in..

 

A property owner hired a contractor to fell his neighbour's tree, which had a TPO on it, so he could enjoy a better sea view from his hot tub

 

BBC News - Poole tree fell sea view trial: Neighbour found guilty

 

The pair have been found guilty - I've just heard on the radio that the property owner has had a record fine imposed on him - something like £75,000 plus an allowance to cover how much his property gained in value.

It was in a thread a while ago. Called who did this.

 

Good they have got a comupence.

:lol: I've just been staring at the screen trying to work out what a "comupence" was........ Then it slowly dawned on me. Not laughing at you for your spelling, just the way I interpreted it

Yea, I think the feller got £5,000.

 

Last I heard, the house owner was fined £75,000 for the TPO breach, plus a further £50,000 to allow for the increase in value of his house, plus £14,500 in costs, so getting on for £140,000 in total.

 

Probably a drop in the ocean for someone like that. I'll bet the £5 grand fine on the tree feller will hurt more.

 

I can never get used to how greedy and selfish some people in this country can be when it comes to property..

HI ALL but the house is worth millions so that fine will stop them from cutting trees down it a joke jon
