Lewis Hamilton has been granted permission to cut down more trees at his £18million Kensington mansion following a bitter feud with neighbours over his previous plans.
The F1 megastar, 40, had applied to cut down four trees at his London home – just three years after he sparked fury over a bid to axe a sugarplum tree despite neighbours claiming he was 'destroying nature'.
He submitted an application to fell two apple trees entirely, complaining they are 'poor specimens', as well as pruning back a lime tree and a magnolia that were said to be 'encroaching' nearby buildings.
Despite his previous clash with his neighbours, he has been given the green light by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council to carry out the works at his luxury west London pad.
The council wrote to Hamilton's tree surgeon Henry Twynam granting him planning permission for the works in spite of the strong objections he has faced in the past.
