Similar stupidity goes on down here too. The same Councils that carry on about permits needed for pruning 1 branch on a tree are approving development of normal house blocks into 3 townhouses sometimes leaving large mature trees within 2 metres of a new house not to mention the new driveway and everything else that goes on. The designers solution: 2m deep root barrier right up against the trunk of the tree!
