A centuries-old tree that was chopped down outside a Toby Carvery restaurant by the chain’s owners was still alive at the time, a Forestry Commission investigation has found.
The oak tree in north London, believed to be 450 to 500 years old, was cut down on 3 April last year without permission from the council landlord, prompting widespread public anger and leaving Toby Carvery facing eviction.
