A firm has been fined nearly £2,000 for damaging two protected trees in Brackley, Northants.
Workers sawed through the roots of two old beech trees which had been standing outside a cottage in Pebble Lane for more than a 100 years.
General Contractors Limited, based in Market Place, Brackley, decided to build a new access road to the cottage and sawed through the roots.
The trees, protected by a preservation order, may now have to be chopped down.
The firm admitted damaging the trees and was fined £1,300 for the most severely affected tree and £600 for the other.
The company was also ordered to pay £1,800 in costs.
