    I know you don't need a felling licence, but do you need planning permission to cut down a big tree growing in a garden in Dublin city? I can't find the answer. Should I ask the council directly?

    Generally no, you do not need planning permission...unless the tree is protected/listed. Maybe give the Parks Dept of Dublin City Council a call just to be sure.

    Just a small addition to this is the fact that if the House is even protected, this leads to the fact that anything within the curtilage of the site boundary is deemed t be protected also so permission may be needed then or at the very least a chat with the Planning (Conservation) Officer, (not front desk staff)
