Lewis Hamilton has applied to cut down four more trees at £18m Kensington mansion - just three years after he sparked fury over a bid to axe a sugarplum tree despite neighbours claiming he was 'destroying nature'.
The F1 megastar, 40, has appealed to fell two apple tree entirely, complaining they are 'poor specimens'. They are said to be replaced, although the species is yet to be decided.
A lime tree will also be pruned back after it caused 'excessive shading' at his luxury west London pad, while a magnolia will be cut away from buildings and thinned out for also blocking the sun.
These trees are not under a Tree Protection Order but are still in a conservation area. The proposed plans are currently under review by the council.
The bombshell application could re-spark tensions between the Ferrari driver and residents on the plush Kensington street, close to the homes of David Beckham and Robbie Williams.
