Robbie ‘poison’ tree call

ROBBIE Williams is in a row with neighbours over felling trees on his country estate – because their seeds could poison horses in a nearby paddock.

The singer has been told by neighbours to cut back and chop down several sycamores on the boundary of his £9million home in Compton Bassett, Wilts.

Application documents submitted to Wiltshire Council last month by Robbie said: “Work to be carried out on trees overhanging a bridleway and over two horse paddocks.

“Trees to be cut back on the bridleway/over the paddock are mainly sycamore as the neighbouring properties are very worried about the seeds they produce.”

A neighbour said: “Several of us are concerned about the trees on Mr Williams’s estate because the horses could eat these seeds from the sycamore trees thinking they are food.

“But the ingestion of sycamore seeds can be fatal to horses so Mr Williams needs to remove them ASAP.”
