You can only cut down or prune protected trees if they are directly in the way of development which is about to start, for which you have full and detailed planning permission. You cannot carry out tree work if you only have outline planning permission. You may only carry out works which are essential to enable you to fulfil your permission. The Local Planning Authority may prosecute you if it thinks you have cut down or pruned excessively.
