Two housing giants have been criticised for cutting down trees and hedgerows – including some outside the permitted zone.
Concerns were raised last month over trees and hedgerows along Little Melton Road which have recently been cut down.

A Norfolk village is hoping residents will be wild about a new idea.
Hethersett is looking to obtain Wildlife Status and the parish council is asking people to get behind the idea.
Council member Bridget Williamson is behind the scheme, which is designed to help protect wildlife.
She said: The felling of hedgerows and trees means that local wildlife is being chased from pillar to post with nowhere to go. We have a responsibility to keep as much habitat for flora and fauna and wildlife as we can.

Parish councillors in a village on the outskirts of Norwich have described the Post Office s response to their questions over the future of their local branch as disingenuous .
Last month members of Hethersett Parish Council outlined their intention to fight to secure the future of the village s branch after the current postmaster Kevin Salmon stated his intention to retire at some point in 2021.
At a parish council meeting held in November, chair Adrienne Quinlan said: “We are monitoring the situation and doing everything we can to keep the post office in the village.”
