Yes. There are all sorts of rules the council dont enforce especially as we are in a conservation area. I am yet to understand what they are conserving. Most people I think dont know what it means. You cant cut down trees, or structually change the appearance of the front of the property. Cant add a velux window on front facing roofs.

I heard about the council contacting a neighbour who had cut down some trees but they did nothing. I removed some bushes from my garden when I first moved in but had no idea of the rules. You would think you would be informed as a new owner.
