Bromley Council says an investigation about the felling of trees under a protection order is ongoing.
The owner of land where 131 protected trees were illegally felled in south London will need to replant them all, a council has said.
A man was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage in June after police were called to Cator Park in Bromley about the felling of oak trees that were under a protection order.There is a legal requirement to plant new trees, Bromley Council said.The popular spot for dog-walkers and families is Metropolitan Open Land, meaning planning applications are tightly restricted and the felling of trees without permission is illegal.
Angela Page, executive councillor for public protection and enforcement, said: "Local residents are still quite rightly shocked and saddened at what took place on that fateful weekend when the protected trees were felled." "We are considering all the legal measures we have at our disposal and the requirement for the landowner to replant oak trees on this much loved and precious site is part of that.
"We previously successfully sought an injunction which gives additional protections and our investigation into the felling of the trees is very much continuing."
