I cant believe that they didnt even ask permission to come to the house and take the tree's down...arent you ment to recieve written notice of work's ect?
Good luck hon....fingers crossed council object or drag it out for you
At the very least the landlord or the agent has to give you written notice of entry - which clearly didn't happen with the gardener coming over and just ripping out trees. It's not up to the gardener to call (although that would be nice as a courtesy) - the landlord cannot just get people to come over whenever he/she feels like it without letting you know at least 24 hours beforehand in writing, unless it is an emergency. So they have broken that rule to begin with. Personally I think that building a pool will interfere with your "quiet enjoyment" of the property, so you would be within your rights to submit a written letter outlining your concerns and the predicted impact on your family of the building of the pool, not to mention the fact that when you moved in and signed the lease, it was for a house without a pool - so you shouldn't now have to be responsible for maintaining a pool that didn't exist when you moved in.
This is a bit wierd isn't it, I would also talk to the re about the entry without notice, they can't do that, what if you walked by naked or something not expecting someone to be in your yard or they frightened u thinking it was an intruder and even f that didnt happen u r entitled to the entry notice and the appropriate notice the only other way they can enter legally is if they call and arrange it with u,
I would definitely say something about it, even though it might be easier to let it go if you dont say anything it kinda sets a precedent and u might find the same thing happening again
