Not in the same league but there’s a developer here who was building some new houses/Bungalows on the old allotments here. Right on the border of the land was an old tree with a preservation order on it.
The developers just turned up one night & cut it down & basically just shrugged their proverbial shoulders and said don’t know why it happened.
They got a small fine & had to plant two new saplings (that probably won’t survive).
Much like the Crooked House pub, gutted by a fire and then bulldozed without permission two days later. Pricks.
