The last James Bond, Daniel Craig and his wife, the Oscar-winning actress, Rachel WeiszThey’re in a fight with some of their London neighbors. The couple confronts the inhabitants of the houses adjacent to their exclusive single-family home, because the large trees in their garden are annoying, they must be pruned, and they need a special permit to do so.
It is a fresh battle with nearby residents over their plans to fell troublesome trees at the £6m townhouse where the Hollywood stars live in north London.
Five years ago, Craig and Weisz already won a battle to keep a 20-meter-tall banana tree in their yard, after neighbors complained that its roots were damaging nearby houses.
Bankers Alasdair Nisbet and his wife, Elizabeth, who live next door to the Craigs, reported in 2017 that their Victorian terrace house was riddled with cracks due to roots from the famous actors’ trees. The Nisbets provided expert reports that blamed these subsidence problems on the roots of the large banana tree planted in the ex-007’s garden, and requested that the tree be cut down.

The huge typical British banana tree was saved from the ax after the protagonist of daggers in the back and his wife offered to cut it themselves. This resulted in the area’s planning authorities ultimately blaming the cracks in the other house on a sewer pipe.
Daniel and Rachel then had the support of other neighbors, who defended that the trees were “aesthetically beautiful”, and were against their removal. These same inhabitants of the neighborhood can be against the new pruning plans of the celebrities of the screen.
The actors have asked the city council to carry out more work on the tree in question, and to cut it down by four more meters. They also request the pruning of another similar banana tree and an ivy-covered pear tree that are planted in their garden.
However, for this they need municipal consent because this type of vegetation is protected by a Tree Preservation Order in a designated conservation area in their neighborhood, Camden.
