Council plans legal action over ancient London oak felled by Toby Carvery | Trees and forests

Toby Carviri has been threatened with legal procedures by a council on old oak cut in a park in the north London.

The chain of restaurants faces national anger yet Its decision is to fall to a tree of up to 500 years Without warning on April 3.

On Wednesday, the Anfield Council, who rented the land on which the tree stood in Toby Carvery’s parking, escalated its dispute with the company by challenging the logical basis of the pieces and indicating that it planned to prosecute.

This came after Mitchells & Butles Retail (M&R BR), which Toby Carvery, claimed that the tree should be descended because it is “mostly dead and exciting” and poses a threat to the audience.

This is a liar. He said: “We have evidence that this tree was alive and began to grow the new spring papers when this measure was taken. Our expert team examined the tree in December 2024 and found that it was healthy and did not pose any danger to the adjacent car park and its users.”

“Since the tree shows clear signs of life, we will do our best to help the tree to re -grow the tree.”

The council informed Toby Carvi to the capital police, but the officers decided not to take any other action because there was no order to keep the tree. On Tuesday, the police closed their investigation after it decided to be a civil issue.

Erbil said: “The police treat it as a civil issue, but we will continue to take appropriate legal measures,” Erbil said.

He added: “When we believe that this procedure has broken the conditions of the lease contract that Toby Carvery requires preserving and protecting the current scene.

“So we ask for advice and we will take appropriate legal procedures. If any criminal activity is found while we are investigating, we will not hesitate to inform the police again.”

Erbil said that he was “angry” that Toby Carviri had “cut this beautiful old oak tree without asking for any permissions or advice from the Investment Council.”

He said: “This tree was home to countless wildlife, fungi and pollinators. This tree is part of our environmental and cultural heritage.”

The Woodland Trust said that oak at Whitewebbs park was an important home, and supports hundreds of species, including endangered dead wood beats.

“This is the most shockingly shocking, I think I have seen more than a decade ago with ancient trees. In my opinion, and the opinion of many others, this is more important than the environment than the gap in Sycamore – and certainly an unprock tree,” said Ed Pine, the Woodland Trust consultant for trees.

“Old Bulita is particularly rich in biological diversity, with habitats that take centuries to develop. They cannot be simply replaced by smaller trees and cannot be replaced quickly.”

He added: “Some biological diversity associated with old trees, such as Whitewebbs, is among the most threatening institutions in Europe.”

Ed Alnot, a resident of Infield and Minister of Whitoibes Group, said the locals want justice in the old oak.

He said: “The tree belongs to Anfield and to our national heritage. I personally destroyed. We want answers, and we want to guarantee other trees here properly protected.”

M & BR was contacted to comment.

It is understood that the M & R BR plans to conduct a review of the accident to determine whether cutting the tree is right or wrong. The CEO, Phil Urban, plans to respond to all those who complained about the destruction of the tree.

A source close to the company says that Urban will apologize for the distress it caused, but not the action taken.
