Just another case of rich people thinking they can do whatever they want without giving a rat's arse about how it affects everyone else.

No.

I've had to have the same done before when having a tree removed from my garden (when being felled there was a risk of it falling into the road)

If anything feel sorry for the home owner who has to pay for all this.

People really need hobbies.

It's temporary lights and a big bush being trimmed for christ sake.
That's one huge bush

People in very large houses pay nothing like their fair share of council tax. It's far lower per £ of house value than it is if you have a small house.

I'm all for individual rights and all that but when you need an entire team of rotund polish men to trim your bush, you know you've gone a bit too far..
I'm hedging my bets on this one.
