You have just brought a piece of land to build your own house, the problem is it has a 150 year old oak tree right in the spot where your house will be!

you have found out the tree has a preservation order on it and it cant be cut down, this will make the piece of land worthless and you wont be able to build your house on it.

but no one knows that you know about the preservation order, so you could get it cut down, you would be fined but it would be a small price considering what you will have lost if you leave the tree standing,

so do you cut down a tree that has stood for a 150 years and build your home or be left with some where to walk the dog?
