Toby Carvery , a family pub chain, said they felled the tree after receiving advice it was dead.

Enfield Council's leader branded the felling "an outrage" and said all legal options were being considered.

Enfield Council gave Tottenham Hotspur a 25-year lease to build a new women's training ground.

The Woodland Trust has called for more transparency from M&B and Spurs .

There is no suggestion that Spurs knew of the decision to fell the tree or that it had any connection to it.

Emergency tree preservation order has been imposed to preserve the remains of the Whitewebbs oak.
