Some of us have had CA status foisted on us - last December in my
case. No one asked me whether I wanted this. Fortunately my
neighbour is a planning officer in another borough and got wind that
it was happening. Her response: would I cut down the big tree in my
garden that overshadowed hers, since once the CA came in I wouldn't
be able to do this without council permission which probably
wouldn't be forthcoming. I liked the tree but could see her point so
down the tree came. But the truth is I no longer own my garden the
council does.
