Enfield Council has enacted an emergency Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on the site leased to Toby Carvery following the uproar over the removal of a 500-year-old oak tree. This six-month order allows the council to assess the area for future permanent TPOs. The action came after public backlash and a petition with over 39,000 signatures was launched against the felling, which Toby Carvery justified by citing health and safety concerns. The council is currently investigating the circumstances of the tree's removal and considering broader protective measures for nearby trees.
