The landowner said they had used a professional contractor and needed to clear access to the site near the brook.
The house and land are understood to currently be up for sale.
Planning officers have advised councillor Potter the trees of ‘of low public amenity value’ and were not covered by a tree preservation order so no permission was needed.
